We couldn’t do all we do without the support of our members and their generosity! Thank you to LSF Writers Conference Chair and NY Times and USA Today bestseller Caridad Pineiro for sponsoring the pizza and game night at this year’s conference! A fun time was truly had by all. Also big congrats on Caridad’s upcoming new Crooked Pass Security series from Harlequin Intrigue. Pre-order your copies today!
It’s time to celebrate another amazing sponsor from this year’s conference! A big THANK YOU to Sourcebooks who graciously sent us copies of Lucy Score’s NO MORE SECRETS for our conference attendees. Everyone loved getting this book at the keynote luncheon. THANK YOU, Sourcebooks for your generosity.
We were so lucky to have some amazing sponsors for this year’s conference and we want to thank every one of them! Today we’re starting with Harlequin who graciously sent us boxes of books for our conference attendees. Everyone loved getting these in their tote bags. THANK YOU, Harlequin for your generosity.
We hope everyone had safe travels home from the conference. We want to say a big THANK YOU to all the conference attendees, volunteers, members, speakers, editors, agents, the LSFW Board, and the sponsors who made it possible for us to have an amazing and memorable conference! THANK YOU! We couldn’t have done it without you! We’re already planning and looking forward to our 15th Annual conference on April 11, 2026! We hope you can join us there!
Congratulations to LSF Writers Conference Chair Caridad Pineiro on the release of her new book, DANGER IN DADE, the 4th book in the South Beach Security K-9 Division series. If you haven’t grabbed your copy of this book, do it today at https://amzn.to/4fMyvnH.
Congratulations to Liberty States Fiction Writers Member David Manfre whose short story “First Contact” was published in the The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters anthology. A lifelong resident of New Jersey, David enjoys writing stories that take place in familiar settings. A major aspect of his writing involves using those local settings because he believes placing characters and events there helps make his writing immediate and lively. David enjoys visiting the shore, especially towns with commercial boardwalks or lively downtowns, preferring those attractions to spend time at the beach or swimming in the ocean.
Do you have a workshop that you think is perfect for either aspiring or published authors? We’d love to hear about it!
If your workshop is chosen, you will be able to attend our 14th Annual conference on April 5, 2025 for free (but we do not compensate for travel/food expenses).

Congratulations to LSF Writers President Linda J. Parisi on her new deal with Harlequin for their Heartwarming line. We are so excited for Linda and wish her many sales in the future. P.S. – A big THANK YOU to Harlequin for donating books for our recent conference. It was truly appreciated!
Congrats to LSF Writers Member Eileen F. Watkins whose NIGHT OF THE WERE-CAT, the sixth and final book in her Cat Groomer Mystery series, has earned the MUSE Medallion in the category “Book: Fiction—Mystery” for 2023 from the Cat Writers’ Association, Inc. The CWA presents writing awards yearly over a wide range of print and broadcast media, and the MUSE is the top prize in each category.
