From idea, to creation, to application...the process can be thrilling, overwhelming, and challenging. But when you get a review like this:

"This event has been an absolute dream! Being surrounded by readers and writers all eager to share their talents and support one another is exhilarating and inspiring. I'm so glad that I could volunteer and I will DEFINITELY be back next year! AUTHOR-CON 2020!" --Kimilyn Poulson

Thank you Kimilyn!
