CARNIVAL TYCOON

Susan, the RITAs are a big deal award RWA gives out. There are different togecaries (I entered HVA as it was eligible for best first book.) and the first round of judging is done by published authors (we can't judge our own togecaries). You just sign up to be a judge and you can pick how many books you want. This is my first year doing it! This is the first round of judging and I believe it's officers in RWA who do the final round.The awards ceremony is great. It's like the Academy Awards for writers. V fancy! And will be in New York this year during conference. Now you know all I know. LOL.Julia, still literary.
