I saw old friends and made a ton of new ones, and I can't wait to go back next year!
This community is full of creative, kindhearted individuals, and I'm so proud to be a part of it. Hanging out with all the wonderful people who attended, readers and authors alike, was an absolute pleasure! The kindness they showed me when I won the award for Best Cover was humbling. I felt so blessed and was genuinely grateful. Thank you to everyone who voted, and a special thank you to my amazing cover artist, Regina Wamba! You are magic!
Another highlight was being offered a contract with Gandolfo Helin & Fountain Literary Management. Italia Gandolfo is not only an amazing agent but also an amazing woman, and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll leave you with these!
Until next year...
