A week from now, I will be attending my first writer's conference! YAY!
I have three one-on-one appointments scheduled with agents to discuss my current project: THE EDUCATION OF THIA

Have you attended a writer's conference? What was the most helpful part of the conference? Any advice for the new girl?
I attended one last April - it was so awesome. I'm hooked. Make sure you're ready to take plenty of notes and don't hesitate to ask questions. I really wish I could go to another, but I'll have to wait until after we've moved out of Hawaii. They canceled the one here and I can't afford to fly somewhere PLUS pay for a conference. Have a great time though!!
ReplyDeleteI went to a great one last year. Best advice-- meet people! Sit at a table full of people you don't know and talk. The biggest benefit of conferences for me is all the networking. So don't be shy, and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Shallee.
ReplyDeleteYou should become the yappiest lady on the planet, the first one with your hand out in a group telling everyone your name, and have the biggest, friendliest smile on your face all day long.
Everyone is nervous, everyone is excited, and everything is awesome at a conference.
Have fun!

I'm a veteran of numerous writer's conferences, and the best advice echoes what others have said--just be confident and talk to everybody. Talk in line, talk at meals, talk in the bathroom to anybody and everyone. You never know who you might meet!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. THANKS!!
