I just spent the day critiquing query letters at the sold out Backspace Agent-Author Seminar in Manhattan, and had a great time! Hopefully it was equally fun and productive for the authors in attendance. This was my first event with Backspace, but based on my experience today I would definitely recommend their 2010 Backspace Writers Conference, which takes place May 27th-29th in NYC.
The other exciting thing which happened today is that Realm Lovejoy posted an interview with me here on her blog. She's doing an ongoing series of interviews with agents, editors, and authors, with original art to accompany each one! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to participate, because Realm is an amazing artist (plus she didn't kill me for asking her to go back and tweak her drawing of me multiple times, which I really appreciated).
Finally, here's my schedule of appearances for the first half of 2010:
2010 RWA New England Chapter Conference
March 26-27, 2010, Framingham, MA.
DFW Writers Conference
April 10-11, 2010, Dallas, Texas
Las Vegas Writers Conference
April 15-17, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada
Chicago-North RWA Spring Fling 2010
April 23-24, 2010, Deerfield, IL
BEA
May 25-27, 2010, New York, NY
My current plan is to spend the first week of May sleeping.
On that note, I now go to collapse into bed and sleep the sleep of the exhausted. There may be some watching of Supernatural first.
