16th Annual "Shining the Light on Romance"
Agent/Editor Luncheon

Friday, June 7, 2013
was a Great Success!

Thank You to all who attended!

A Special Thanks to Keynote Speaker
Lou Aronica
Best-Selling Author and Editor
Publisher of The Story Plant and Fiction Studio Books
Former publisher at Avon and Berkley

Lou encouraged us to be retro-progressive in our approach
to navigating the changing face of publishing--
and to never forget the most basic contract in books,
no matter how they are published:
the contract between reader and writer.
Thanks, Lou! You were great!

Thanks to all our terrific editor and agent guests!
