So... why register for Silken Sands Conference At the Beach?

Why not?

Seriously, give yourself a much needed break from everyday life. Escape for a few days to beautiful, sunny Florida for a little sand, sun and romance all around. Well, romance writers at least! Not only can we offer you best-selling authors and top-notch agents and editors for brain picking and elbow rubbing, but we’ll also have workshops, a book fair, raffles and prizes.*

No snow, no earthquakes, no heavy traffic – and not a single pesky hurricane in sight! Just sun, fun and a wonderful working vacation - and you know what they say: “What happens at the beach stays at the beach!”
