Book Signing Event:
This year’s retreat will include a limited-capacity book signing featuring up to eight authors. To ensure fairness and transparency, participation will be open to Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Professional Author Alliance (PAA) members, as this designation reflects established, objective publishing criteria. To become a PAA member, you need to be an RMFW member first, then review the criteria here https://rmfw.org/paa/
Four author slots will be reserved for PAA members, and four “reader” slots will be available to non-presenting retreat attendees to read from their novels. Workshop presenters who are PAA members may participate as authors but will not be eligible for reader slots. If interest exceeds available space, all qualified authors will be entered into a lottery, and participants will be selected at random.
