GRL First Time Experience By S.C. Wynne
I survived my first GRL experience. :)
It was everything I expected and even better than I hoped. I spent a lot of time with friends socializing in the bar, and got to meet readers and other authors during the week long event. I was definitely nervous about going. Mostly because I'm a relatively shy person. But overall people were really friendly, and the ones that weren't were probably just feeling insecure, and not at their best.
The author signing was fun. That was where we got to sell our books and talk to readers. It was also intimidating because unless you're super well known, you won't necessarily have a huge line of people at your table. But the flow of readers was steady the entire time, and I enjoyed the experience over all.
It was interesting to me which books sold. Some I thought would move faster didn't, and ones I hadn't thought would sell were grabbed up eagerly. Just shows what I know, right?
I shared a panel on the Arc of Romance with Felice Stevens and Josh Lanyon. That was fun! Answering questions and just getting to talk about writing is always enjoyable. The three of us also had a reading with one of our favorite narrators, Kale Williams. He was amazing. He brings such warmth and personality to the books, it was fantastic getting to see him in action.
I'm probably going to GRL 2019 if I can get a spot. I suppose we will have to see what life is like in October 2019. Maybe we'll run into each other?
