HEA Quest


Happily Ever After (HEA) Quest – SFWA’s Romance Committee’s Expanded Meetup

HEA Quest, a special virtual meetup presented by SFWA’s Romance Steering Committee, was held in January 2024 and is still available for viewing by SFWA members and non-members who registered. We had three stellar panels of industry experts covering topics of importance to writers and breakout rooms at the end for networking and community building. If you write any combination of speculative fiction and romance, this meetup is for you!
