Greetings from Atlanta!
I'm here for ICRS (International Christian Retail Show).
The last few days have been about all things bookish--fiction workshops, marketing, business planning, editing and more.
I’ve also had a chance to talk with a lot of writer-friends and get free copies of their new books, yeah! It’s great to be around a group of people that can talk deadlines, sales, marketing, etc.
I haven’t been outside yet much. So, currently “Atlanta” means the inside of the Hyatt and the Marriott. (Okay, I did cross the street to get from one hotel to the other.)
Over the weekend was the Christy Awards, and all I can say is AMAZING. The friends were wonderful. The keynote by Lauren Winner was FANTASTIC. And everything else from the prayers, introductions, and awards presentation really was well-done.
And the winners of the Christy Awards ...
