I'm sure there would be parts of them that they could, especially the signings. I know at the Aussie ones you don't have to be a writer to attend, but it's cheaper if you're a member.<BR/><BR/>Annie (yes, still smiling over no 6!)Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-30144372218336496092007-08-28T09:16:00.000-07:002007-08-28T09:16:00.000-07:00Can readers also attend... i didn't know.

I know people who've brought their husband and baby along and just ducked out to feed the bub and then went back to the conference. In my case my problem is that the Aussie conference usually overlaps with my son's birthday.

I'm very fond of that particular story so I hope you enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>As for being 'just a reader' - that's what we all are. I don't know one romance writer who isn't hooked on the genre!

Maybe when my little ones are much older.

But isn't it great? Writing can be so solitary (LOVELY but solitary) that it's so exciting being with other writers - ones who really 'get' what you're talking about.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the feedback on the tutorial!
