Let’s not forget the Emma Awards! And we’ve only begun to plan. Also, since we do not have to pay for events to be catered, the conference registration fee will only be $50 to cover the Emma’s, T-shirts, tote bags etc. The RSJ 2010 Conference registration will start in April 2009.
We will be holding book discussions on some of our favorite Black romance novels over the last fifteen years. So dust off your oldies but goodies. I’ll send out a request for a reading list much closer to the conference.
