So this weekend was huge for many romance writers! The Romance Writers of America held their annual National Conference in San Francisco. It's known as "Nationals" to romance writers.
The RITA Awards winners were announced Saturday night. The RITAs are like the Academy Awards of the romance writing world. They are named after Rita Clay Estrada who served as the first president of Romance Writers of America. I thought we'd have our own RITAs right here at Armchair Heroines. Below are the listings of nominees for 2008 from several categories. I only included a couple because there are a bunch of categories! Post a comment and tell me your choice for winner in any or all of the categories!
