First, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Matt Rush on winning literary agent Joanna Stampfel-Volpe's query contest!
And now, my favorites from yesterday's agenda. I will try not to burst into tears thinking about how the rockinest conference ever is over now, and how summer's end is close behind. *sigh*
Writing With a Real Life by author Lindsey Leavitt
(great for all you writing mothers out there)
Author Branding by author Shelli Johannes-Wells
Staying Positive in the Face of Rejection by author Crystal Stranaghan
Avoiding Character Stereotypes by literary agent Mary Kole
Industry Professional Panel: Publishing Tell-All
For the complete schedule from Thursday, click HERE.
As far as can tell the forums are still open (yay!) and they have also extended their final query critique contest through the weekend.
If you attended WriteOnCon, I'd love to see your favorite highlights or what you learned from the crit forums. Please share! It was an awesome three days, wasn't it? A simply fantabulous way to close out the summer.

I still have to catch up on yesterday. I made up it to the 2 pm EST sessions then had to leave. I'll definitely check out the ones you have listed here. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to do a rundown of my critiques on Monday. Thank you for your critique of my query, btw! It was incredibly helpful :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such an amazing, amazing experience. So cool of them to do.
Glad I could help, Steph!
ReplyDeleteMy FAVORITE part was when Maureen Johnson showed up in that last panel.
ReplyDeleteI was like a kid in a candy store right then... you have NO IDEA :)
Thanks for being a part of writeoncon!
