A special thank you to Julia Quinn for a fantastic 2008 Workshop!

Stay Tuned for details on our 2009 All Day Workshop.

	Perennial New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn didn't originally intend to write romance novels for a living. She even spent three months at the Yale School of Medicine before realizing that doctoring didn't hold a candle to romance writing. Romance fans everywhere are relieved by her choice, and she continues to delight her readers with her witty dialogue, wonderful characters and sense of humor.

About Julia

Perennial bestseller Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and in 2001 she did so in grand style, competing on the the game show The Weakest Link and walking away with the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a da Vinci long before there was a code.

Her most recent novel, The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever, reached #3 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Education
