Conferences, expos, and pitch slams- oh my!
Who says agents are hard to find? Here’s where I’ll be in 2013:
SCBWI Austin: February 8-10, 2013
Unicorn Writers’ Conference, Connecticut: March 9, 2013
Bologna Book Fair, Italy: March 25-26, 2013
Writers Digest Pitch Slam, New York: April 6, 2013
Book Expo, New York: May 29-31, 2013
Midwest Writers Workshop, Indiana: July 25-27, 2013
NESCBWI, New Hampshire: September 6-8, 2013
It all starts tomorrow at noon, EST. If two agents request the same manuscript, it’s up to you, the writer, to decide which of us gets to read (full rules on Brenda Drake’s fabulous blog). Talk about cutthroat. And my competition is mighty indeed:
These Handsome Faces Are A Metaphor for the Brilliance and Poignancy of Your Writing
On March 12th-14th, a handful of amazing, brilliant, and physically appealing agents (including me) will be reading your young adult and middle grade pitches at the March Madness Agent Pitch Match, hosted by Brenda Drake, Shelley Watters, and Cassandra Marshall.
You may remember that these things can get nuts.
Now: Initial slots go to the lucky few who participated in Brenda and company’s February Pitch Workshop.
But: For those who weren’t in the pitch workshop, we will have two submission times on March 2.
Do you know about this? How can you not know about this??
Sixty agents.
Three hours.
A veritable sudden-death cagematch of queries.
Hundreds of writer-hopefulls.
And you.
It’s the Writer’s Digest Pitch Slam, this Saturday, January 21st, all part of the 2012 Writer’s Digest Conference running from Jan. 20-22 at the Sheraton New York.
These people found agents through this conference. You can too!
