What to do at the conference

 

     I was looking at the PW conference schedule in the last newsletter.  It seems I won’t have a problem with conflicting sessions.  I’ll have trouble finding a challenging session for each hour.  I’m not complaining mind you.  The sessions look great and I highly recommend them.  

     However, I’ve been to many similar ones.  Therefore, I see six sessions that I will attend and several others that are debatable.  The newsletter states that the schedule is subject to change.  I am hoping for a few surprises (No, Dave not that kind.)

     Then again, if I’m not in a session, I am free to socialize with others.  This is how I met my agent long before she became my agent.  Actually, I met her husband first and then he introduced me to her.  We were friends for a few years before I had a ‘writers’ conference’ interview with her.  Whereupon in the allotted ten minutes, I pitched my book to her.  She told me to send her my manuscript t, cover letter, and synopsis.  I did and she called me and asked if I wanted to sign with her.  I signed.

     Take advantage of free time at a conference to meet people.  You never know what will come of it.

  1. I think that’s great advice to encourage folks to mingle at the PW con. Hope to meet you there!

    I’m easy to find since I am a gregarious person. I look forward to meeting you too. Glad you stopped by!

    Uh, this comment needs a bit of translation: Look for the rowdiest, loudest, laughing-hardest group. That’s where you’ll find her.

    Um, are you saying I’m rowdy? LOL! I’ll be smack dab in the center of the group.

  3. And I bet Dave will be in that same group, too. LOL

    Well, hell yes he will.
