We are asking all members to register by August 13, 2022, so we can have a count for the breakfast. There is no cost to attend.
At the meeting, we are focusing on growing our own. We will learn our history (when, where, how we got started). We will do Table Turnover, in which we will get to know our DARA members better, and then we will have a panel discussion featuring four DARA members who will answer questions and share insight about the writing/publishing business.
We will end with group photos that can be shared on social media and our website to promote our chapter.
If you know anyone who would want to attend, please send an email to info@dallasarearomanceauthors.com.
