Hello everyone.
Since you don’t hear from me very often, I thought I
would bring you up to date on what is happening at the Pittsburgh office,
besides the day to day activities.
I was able to attend the ICRS in Orlando in
July. Kathy, my assistant here in the
Pittsburgh office went with me. I
couldn’t have done the conference without her.
We had a great time. We roomed
with Diana Wallis Taylor, one of my clients. I met with 26 editors in two
days. Since I hadn’t been to ICRS the
last two years, it was good to reconnect with editor friends and to meet a
couple new ones. It was also great to see many other friends on the convention
floor. Kathy heard “Joyce & I go
waay back.” quite a few times. I think
my first CBA Convention was in 1980.
My
birthday was in August and I got three birthday cakes. I’m watching carbs now.
Many
friends sent cards and messages on Face Book.
It is nice to be remembered.
Thanks to all.
Now
I’m getting ready for the ACFW which is only two days away. I’m having a dinner for my clients and their
spouses. It will be at The La Hacienda in Colleyville, TX at 7:00 pm on
Wednesday, September 19. The manager of
the restaurant says it is about 10 minutes from the airport. Terry is having a get together for his
clients on Friday night at the hotel. At
last count I will have 21 authors attending the conference. That’s only the
jhart authors, not the whole agency. Terry will have 19 authors there.
If you write fiction, I cannot recommend this
conference highly enough. You will have
the opportunity to network with other authors, connect with editors and attend
many good workshops.
God
bless and keep you in His care.

Joyce, happy birthday late! And praying for everyone who goes to conference, esp. my friend Kristy Wedge Cambron, one of your clients!
And wish I could go as one of Andy's clients. Since I can't be there in person, I just did a video pitch over on my blog, in case any editors wanted to hear more about my Viking novel!
Prayers for all! Hoping to go next year!
I agree wholeheartedly about the ACFW conference. For the past three years, I've been privileged to lead the Indiana chapter, and I can't recommend ACFW enough for Christian fiction writers.
Blessings to you, Joyce!
I know the Joyce Hart clients will have an awesome time visiting with you at conference! I won't be there this year due to being obedient to God's direction. Am praying this is a wonderful conference for you, Joyce, full of happy times!!! And nice people, too!!! And with all those Hartline folks there, you can be sure to find kind souls!
Happy Belated Birthday. Now what am I to do with the cake I baked you? Oh, all right, I'll force myself to eat it!
Glad you had a lovely time,
Jen
Yes, if you are trying to break into the Christian fiction market, then, ACFW is the best! I won't be able to go this year, but, I hope all who attend have a totally awesome time!
