Anyone averaging 90% or above on their 3 middle scores are named finalists. The winner is announced at the RITA and Golden Heart award ceremony at the RWA National Conference.

I read your discussion on Jillian’s blog-what a fun group! And I have a suggestion for the high heel issue: pool your money together and hire a hunky, handsome escort for the evening! He can escort whoever wins up to the podium and keep her from falling-so you ladies can wear heels as high as you want! I wonder if Hugh Jackman is busy that night…..
Maybe I should bring my husband! He’s a cheaper date than an escort. I think. Hm, maybe I should do some price comparison. Thanks for the tip! 😉
