PASIC Power Conference

Millennium Broadway Hotel

New York City

Look out, New York…  PASIC will be returning to the City that Never Sleeps in Spring 2009 for its fabulous PASIC Power Conference.

The PASIC Power Conference is three fun and information-packed days of topnotch workshops featuring the movers and shakers in publishing. And, of course, Thursday evening rocks at PASIC's Industry Reception, where members congregate with publishing professionals (65 editors and agents in 2007!) over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. You couldn't ask for a better way to meet and talk face to face with people in the know.

Read what some of our members are saying …

“The PASIC conference is a must-attend event for published romance writers. Small workshops geared specifically to published authors; industry leaders speaking candidly about the state of the business and romance in particular; plus the rare opportunity to network with the who's who of romance publishing.”

Allison Brennan
New York Times Bestselling Author

“Of all the conferences I've ever attended, the PASIC conference is, by far, the best.  I never miss it!”

Patricia Kay
USA Today bestselling author

“Dollar for dollar, the PASIC Power Conference is the best investment a published romance author can make in her career.”

Christie Craig
Co-Chair/PASIC Power Conference 2009

“From workshops by industry professionals to cocktails with acquiring editors and agents, the PASIC Power Conference in New York City is the best conference around for a published romance author.”

Faye Hughes
Co-Chair/PASIC Power Conference 2009

"To borrow from another rave about New York, ‘Start spreading the news . . . ‘ There is no conference like PASIC!!  Small group interaction in the home base of publishing.  I wouldn't miss it!"

Alyssa Day
USA Today Bestselling Author

"This conference is better than chocolate: A delicious addition to my knowledge, my circle of friends and...um, yep, my waistline, too!"

Jo-Ann Power

"Absolutely fabulous! Relaxed, enlightening, and totally fun. And New York can't be beat. Editors and agents abound, and they're easily accessible. You can get together at their offices, go out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or maybe even a Broadway show.  I can't think of a better place to hold a writers' conference--or a better group to put one on!"
