TB is finally over her sinus infection, but it knocked her for a loop, and she ended up losing five pounds because her throat hurt so much she couldn’t swallow. In writing news, TB is going through the Lizzie file and prepping it for publication. Toot toot! In not great news, every time it rains, water pours through TB’s window.
Clare, in her words, has kinda settled on the next book to write, and she’s going to do her own version of NaNoWriMo. Unfortunately, she’s not off to a good start, so send positive vibes and custard creams. The good news, she used her new shi-shi coworking space. Clare attended the Kindle Storyteller Awards and lo and behold, the winner, Rachel McLean, is a listener of LWW. Amazing!
They crash on to answering questions about writing conferences: are mainstream conferences worth attending as a queer author, and are there genre-based conferences for queer storytellers? Clare takes the reins on this topic, breaking down the pros and cons of attending mainstream events, and she lists which conferences are geared toward LGBTQ+ authors. It boils down to figuring out what you want to get out of a conference to determine whether or not it’d be worth your time and money.
What are your experiences with conferences?

Clare and TB
