ECRW Mini-conference

In this workshop: This single day event provides authors with a day packed full of speakers and topics. The morning starts with workshops on writing craft and the day wraps up with talks on alternative forms of author income.

Registration for the event also includes information on ways authors may attain additional forms of revenue outside of writing (multiple streams of income) and range from merchandising, affiliate income, and more. It covers the gamut from free to buy-in options. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but is a good starting point for authors looking to diversify their writing income.

The sessions will be recorded and available for 30 days after the event for those that have registered.

About the speakers:

Anne Shaw:

Anne Shaw writes historical romance (Regency and Victorian) and contemporary romance. She holds a Bachelor’s in History with a minor in Women’s studies. Her passion for writing has resulted in the publication of over 20+ titles.

Anne loves to write about sexy heroes and bold heroines who face unsurmountable odds to reach the ultimate goal, a happily ever-after. Whether the story takes place in modern times or in a bygone era where the heroines can hold their own, even today, Anne strives to infuse humor, snappy dialogue, and detailed descriptions to draw the reader into her world.

Patricia D. Eddy: Patricia D. Eddy writes romance for the beautifully broken. Fueled by coffee, wine, and Doctor Who episodes on repeat, she brings damaged heroes and heroines together to find their happy ever afters in many different worlds. From military to paranormal to BDSM, her characters are unstoppable forces colliding with such heat, sparks always fly.

Patricia makes her home in Seattle with her husband and very spoiled cats, and when she’s not writing, she loves working on home improvement projects, especially if they involve power tools.

Her award-winning Away From Keyboard series will always be her first love, because that’s where she realized the characters in her head were telling their own stories—and she was just writing them down.

Patricia loves fuzzy blankets, curling up on the couch with her cats (and as many blankets as possible), and interacting with her fans, so drop her a line.
