Alyssa Day says. . .

"This is a fantastic conference - I would strongly recommend it.  I was the luncheon speaker a few years ago, and took my family to sightsee in Chicago, and I was never treated better at any conference.  Gracious and friendly chapter members, a terrific conference schedule, great editor/agent lineup.  Just top-notch all the way."

Tracey Devlyn says. . .

"Spring Fling is an amazing conference filled with fantastic workshops, great agents and editors, and incredible keynote speakers. The conference's warm and intimate gatherings provide great opportunities for networking with other writers and publishing professionals. I've made great, lasting friendships at Spring Fling and I plan to return again and again."

Tracey Devlyn's debut historical romantic thriller, A Lady’s Revenge, releases April 2012 from Sourcebooks, Inc. Tracey is also a co-founder of the popular Romance University blog and the new Lady Jane’s Salon-Naperville, Chicagoland’s exciting new reading salon.

Heather Snow says. . .

"Spring Fling was the first regional conference I'd ever attended, and I LOVED it.  I made some fantastic friends in the bar, won my very first contest (Thank you Fire & Ice judges!), attended some fabulous workshops—including a couple of impromptu ones (thank you Cherry Adair!), was recognized by my name for the first time by someone who'd read my work who proceeded to make my day with her enthusiastic greeting (thank you Sarah Anderson!) and scored a fantastic basket of Regency books & a Jane Austen action figure (thank you Literacy Auction!).  Great times."

Heather Snow's debut historical romance, Sweet Enemy, will be available from NAL Signet Eclipse in Spring 2012.
