New Conference Dates!

Here’s the latest updates to my conference schedule for 2012-2013 (go here for my full schedule):

SCBWI-Orange County, Editor’s Day, Sep. 22, 2012

My agency is a huge supporter of SCBWI, and I do as many local events as I can. This will be my 2nd Editor’s Day and I can’t wait! I’ll be holding one-on-one pitch sessions.

Writer’s Digest West Conference, Pitch Slam, Oct. 20, 2012, Hollywood, CA

The conference is the weekend of Oct. 19-21, but I’ll be there Saturday, Oct. 20, only, for the Pitch Slam. There will be two 90-minute pitch sessions, with each author having a 90 seconds to pitch. We agents will get slammed, alright, but that’s lots of opportunities to meet some fantastic authors!

Las Vegas Writer’s Conference, Apr. 18-20, 2013

I had such a fantastic time last year, I’m doing it again! I’ll be participating on panels, holding one-on-one pitch appointments, and leading a breakout session on a topic TBD.

I hope to see some of you at one of these events soon!

New Conference Dates for 2012

This weekend I’ll be at the Las Vegas Writers Conference. There I’ll hold one-on-one pitch sessions, speak on an Agents Panel, and will conduct a session called “Dos and Don’ts of Writing a Query Letter”.

I’m also looking forward to attending the Willamette Writers Conference for the first time this year, Aug. 3-5. I’ll conduct one-on-one and group consults, speak on an Agent Q & A Panel, as well as participate in a “Pitch with the Pros” workshop Thursday evening.

Hope to see some of you soon at these great conferences!
