Closer to home Karen Junker has a blog called Scarletmuse on Publishers Marketplace. Karen is founder of THE WRITER’S WEEKEND, to be held this June 9-12 in Seattle. It’s a different kind of writers conference, deisgned to have more one on one interaction between genre novelists, agents and editors. Genre includes Romance, Mystery, Historical, Thriller, and all subsets thereof. Mark your calendar because if you missed Don’s wedding, you won’t want to miss this conference too.
