What makes the 3Rs different from other conferences?
- Rustic setting just north of Sarasota and south of Tampa
- Time to write built into the schedule
- Time to commune both informally and in more structured programs with published peers and industry professionals
- Affordable, all-inclusive weekend
- Group critiques (no submission coupons, no lines)
- Topics of particular interest to authors who’ve already published traditionally
“I love talking plot, character, voice, pacing, and also I must admit, decorating!
I can’t wait to commune with everyone and read your terrific stories.”
–Jill Davis, Editor (Hippo Park)

We’re organizing this conference to fill a gap we perceive in what’s available for traditionally published authors.
