Romance Writers New Zealand Conference

RWNZ Writer's Conference

Some of our members occasionally attend the Romance Writer's of New Zealand conferences.

In 2008 one of our members, Cheryl Wright, was attending that conference and as she was editor for a small press publisher, was asked to be a speaker at the conference, and also take pitches.

Below are photos from her time there.
