“BWRC was so awesome! Again, I have met some amazing, motivated, and talented writers.The BWRC staff has this secret formula. Ingredients: great staff, great presenters and workshops, uninhibited atmosphere, smooth transportation to and from the airport, more food at a luncheon than you can eat in two days (OMG). I heard a lot of people who said all of this was great for the price. Tia and staff, you ROCK!!!” – BWRC Veteran Kimberly Bibbs, Houston, Texas
