I love M&M. There are people from all over the southeast that I see this one time every year. I feels like homecoming. Too, the workshops and speakers are always terrific.

I’ll be there. Gotta have my GRW fix!

M&M seems to get better and better each year. And this year they’re going to have a digital track with workshops that will cover everything you’ll ever want to know about self-publishing. And don’t forget the raffle baskets.

I need to register!!!!! I have a hotel room and I’ve gotten the stuff to do my author basket….but haven’t taken time to register. My bad.

Anyway, I’ve been to several conferences in surrounding states…and although they’re all good, the best bang for our buck is at Moonlight & Magnolias. Not to mention that our members are the friendliest and best at displaying the hospitality that the South is known for.
