Normally I’d devote this Quarter Days column to a topic I’ve uncovered in historical research, but preparations for the California Dreamin’ Conference<\/a> have consumed my life lately, and I have to share. This is going to be a great<\/em> conference! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Chance to Retool and Refresh <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From April 5-7, 2019, authors and aspiring authors will gather at the Embassy Suites in Brea, California for workshops on the craft and the business of writing fiction. Plus, we’ll connect up with agents, editors, and industry professionals to help grow our businesses, whether pursuing traditional or indie publishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Craft, Craft, and More Craft <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And we’re not just covering Romance! Kate Carlisle will teach us how to write a Cozy Mystery, Rebecca Forster will cover Police Procedurals, and Orange County Deputy Coroner Paul Hoag will talk about dissecting a death scene (sorry–couldn’t resist that image). We’ll have workshops on Women’s Fiction, and YA, and Historical Fiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Down to Business<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Authors pursuing traditional publishing will have a chance to pitch to seven editors and two agents. Those following an Indie track can meet one-on-one with representatives from Ingram Spark, Draft 2 Digital, ACX\/Audible and WonderPR. And since everyone, both trad and published, has to market, we’ll find workshops on selling our stories to editors, Hollywood, and most importantly, the readers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Conference add-ons include a fabulous all day Book Camp on April 5th presented by author and writing teacher, Janice Hardy<\/a>, offered for $99. Learn how to write that story from start to finish! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short on cash? You don’t have to attend the full conference to sign up for Book Camp! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who do attend the conference, our Editor\/Agent critique sessions are full and closed, but we still have spots for a new conference add-on: Special Author Critique Sessions<\/a>. Spend $10 for an hour of expert advice! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration, Good Food, and FUN!!!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What’s a conference without keynote speakers, and we have two! Beloved and bestselling author of Regency romance, Tessa Dare, will speak at Saturday night’s dinner. Bestselling Contemporary Romance author Theodora Taylor, known for writing alternative heroes and smart feisty heroines, will speak at Sunday’s luncheon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of food–the conference features an opening night reception, soup-and-salad bar lunch on Saturday, and sit-down dinners on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. For those staying on site, Embassy Suites offers a full made-to-order hot breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After noshing on appetizers at the Friday night reception, attendees can pull out their laptops and tablets and take part in the great Friday Night Write-In. Get those words flowing onto the page in the company of your fellow writing enthusiasts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you waiting for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Field\u00a0earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and German literature, but her true passion is the much happier world of romance fiction. Though her roots are in the Midwest, after six very, very, very cold years in Chicago, she moved to Southern California where she shares a midcentury home with two furry four-legged girls and keeps a dependable stash of lollipops for the munchkins in her life. She is the author of several Regency romances, including the 2014 Book Buyer\u2019s Best winner,\u00a0Rosalyn\u2019s Ring.
