Welcome to the first ever “All Conference, All the Time” edition of Afictionado.
We have covered every Continuing Education session, almost all of the Workshops, several of the Late Night Chats, James Scott Bell’s amazing keynote speeches, and the Genesis and Book of the Year contests – plus one member’s conference testimony.

Our President, Robin Miller, opens things up with her column and our regular columns, Market News and Member News still appear. But everything else is conference reporting by people who were there. People who received these teachings first hand and now bring them to you.

Thanks to the Board and to all of the volunteers who made this happen. Please note the names of the authors of these stories – they are the ones who took careful notes and presented it all in ways that will entertain and educate you. Special thanks to April Stier, our Member News columnist, for her assistance in editing the many stories that fill these pages.

Well, get reading! What are you waiting for?
