Talking with Feminist Romance Authors?

A short post today. I'm spending this weekend in Atlanta, at the national meeting of the Romance Writers of America. Over 400 professional writers of romance are in attendance, along with many aspiring romance writers, meeting with agents and editors, listening to workshops on developing their craft, and signing books to raise money for charities devoted to increasing literacy. I'm hoping to find a few writers here who might be interested in guest-blogging here on RNFF, and am wondering if there are any romance writers YOU would like to hear from about how feminism impacts their writing. Here's a link to the list of writers who attended the literacy book signing; are there any names that you'd be interested in hearing from here on RNFF? Let me know, and I'll do my best to track them down...

  1. If you manage to catch up with Meg Maguire (aka Cara McKenna), I'd be very interested to hear from her. Your review of After Hours inspired me to pick it up and I was extremely impressed.

  2. I'm going to echo Rosario & say the same for Cara McKenna. And I would add Katharine Ashe, Ruthie Knox, Courtney Milan, Molly O'Keefe, & Barbara O'Neal, please! Thank you for asking.

  3. I wish you've have talked to Courtney Milan. She's one of my favourites.

  4. Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I spoke briefly with Courtney Milan, who agreed to do a guest post (time and date to come). And Meg Maguire/Cara McKenna is a chapter mate of mine, so I think I can track her down! Also spoke with Ruthie Knox and (briefly) with Molly O'Keefe, although not about the blog. I'll see if I can tempt them on...
