READERCON GETAWAY
FEBRUARY 2025

We are excited about our new plans for ReaderCon! We know that writers also love to read, and readers of our books love to hunker down and get cozy with a book or two, or three. 

 

Envision a weekend getaway in the chill of winter with fireplaces and cozy chairs and you can begin to get a feel for the weekend we are creating for booklovers everywhere! Our capacity will be on the smaller size – think under 75 – for what is sure to be an intimate, fun, book consuming weekend. 

 

All meals, lodging, and planned activities will be included and we hope for some fun surprises for all!
