Well,
there you have it. It’s conference time for me. And I’m always excited to head
out for conferences.
Yes,
it’s a lot of work, a lot of prep, and often a lot of driving, but meeting with
folks who “get” us, understand where we’re coming from, and excited to talk
about writing which is such a huge blessing. I spent Saturday in Fort Wayne at
a workshop. Awesome time and wonderful experience.
Why
are conferences so popular?
Where
else do writers, agents, and editors all congregate to talk nothing but the
writing process and industry?
Are
you planning to attend a conference this year?
Where
are you going?
If you
have a pitch all ready for an editor, did you prepare well? Follow the
instructions on their site?
There
is no better time to plan ahead than for a conference.
Do
your homework, research the agency or publisher, and do your very best work.
This is no time to rush your proposal.
If you
pass me, say hi. If you have an appointment with me or share a table? Tell me
who you are and why you write. I really do want to know.
Yup! I’m
excited. Conferences are starting, and I get to meet some of the most amazing
people in the world.
