Speaking Arrangements Jo Beverley welcomes the opportunity to speak about romance writing and reading to all kinds of groups. She is available to speak on focussed craft topics for writers, and on more general aspects of popular fiction for public interest. She is a member of the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame and Honor Roll, the Canadian Romance Authors Network, and also a member of SF Canada. She was chosen to be a keynote speaker at the Romance Writers of America annual conference in New York in 2003 and is in demand as a speaker around North America. Read the New York luncheon speech here. She will waive her speaking fee for chapters of Romance Writers of America, bona-fide romance writing groups, schools, and libraries, though if she is speaking at an event where other authors are being paid, she expects the same fee. However, all her costs of attending must be covered. All other requests will be dealt with individually. E-mail here
