Conferences and award winners, oh my!

Here are some recent write-ups that I thought might be of interest:

Suleikha Snyder on RWA 2015, a Tale of Two Conferences - http://www.suleikhasnyder.com/2015/07/rwa15-in-nyc-tale-of-two-conferences.html?m=1

Winners of the 2015 Golden Crown Literary Awards for Lesbian Fiction - https://marygriggs.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/2015-goldie-award-winners/

This is focused on YA reviews but is worth reading and noting. When you review erotica or erotic romance featuring PIC and/or LGBTQ, how do you write about those works?
