2017 RWP Keynotes
With two events this year, we’re excited to host two keynote conversations.
We’ll be kicking off the Write with Pride workshop with a keynote chat with author Nisi Shawl (Everfair, Writing the Other) on what are the ways writers can authentically bring a variety of characters to life in their stories.
For Read with Pride, we’ll be kicking-off the conference’s fifth year with a keynote fireside chat with authors Rebekah Weatherspoon (Soul to Keep, Treasure) and Tobi Hill-Meyer (Nerve Endings: The New Trans Erotic) for a discussion and Q&A on how the LGBTQIA romance genre is evolving and where things need to grow from here.
In the next couple weeks, we’ll be releasing the conference panel schedule, but until then, check out RWP’s Author page to read more about the awesome group of authors and speakers joining us this year.
