Welcome to episode 190 – ten off another major milestone!
TB is stressed. Why, I hear you cry? The November IHS Mega Sale for one, along with the IHS Sapphic Reading Challenge for 2024. Plus, she’s got a co-write to finish. But what’s bringing a touch of lightness is her WIP, which is set in Vermont. TB has been able to get out and enjoy the picturesque state. She also has some very sad news to share.
Meanwhile, after a couple of months focusing on business, Clare’s got back in the writing saddle and aims to get London Romance 9 to her editor before Christmas. You heard it here first. Her paperbacks are still flying off bookshop shelves, and she’s determined to finish her year-long reading challenge on a sapphic high!
They crash on to the topic at hand: the 20Books Vegas Conference and what did they learn? First, presentation matters. Second, Vegas is expensive and badly carpeted. But mostly, that you can learn a lot at such an intense and varied conference, but none of it matters as much as the people you meet and the connections you make. Bonus lesson: Clare can still play pool. Her lesbian card is still intact. Phew.
What do you think are the key points of attending conferences? Let us know by heading over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com and leaving us a comment.
Happy listening!
Clare & TB
