Bidding opened on July 2nd for the 2021 RFW online auction! More than 100 donations are offered, and your final bid is your final price, as the generous donors have agreed to pay for shipping. The selection of research books is the best ever. In addition to books donated by our members, about 30 books in the auction were donated by Gail Burch, who wrote Regencies under the pen name Maggie MacKeever. Nine authors who’ve been Rita and/or Vivian finalists will be donating critiques. Other author services include a strategy session on marketing with a marketing expert, book coaching, and a cover design.

Proceeds from this year’s auction will be split between the Feather to Fly With—The Emily Hendrickson Scholarship Fund and defraying costs of the 2022 Conference to make it affordable for all.

Start your bidding at 32Auctions.com. Bidding ends at midnight (EDT), July 24. Donors will ship items to the winners shortly thereafter.
