Thank you for making the 2018 Agents & Editors Conference a weekend of literary inspiration and connection. We loved meeting you (and seeing our returning attendees again!), and we can't wait to hear what happens next for you and your book projects.
Here's one final mailer with a few notes and resources from the conference:
- Find great books. If you walked out of the conference deciding not to buy a book at the BookPeople table because you can only carry so much stuff (seriously, we get it), you didn't miss out. The BookPeople online store has the full listing of books by the conference faculty, and they will ship them to your door. Plus, Writers' League members get 10% off. You can find the bookstore here.
- Keep honing your craft. If you're finishing a project or starting a new one, please consider our Summer Writing Retreat, a week-long craft workshop held in Nacogdoches from July 29-August 3. You'll find top notch classes taught by experienced instructors. You can find more details here.
- Tell us your good news. Every year, attendees from the conference make meaningful connections and gather important information that proves to be invaluable as they begin the journey toward publication. We hope that you'll stay in touch and let us know your good news as it happens! Feel free to reach out directly to us by phone or by emailing Program Director Michael Noll at [email protected]. (And keep our monthly Open Office Hours in mind if you need some advice or just want to discuss next steps with a friendly staffer. We're here for you!)
- Follow up with exhibitors. Did you mean to get a card from one of our exhibitors and forget? Or lose it? No worries. You can find each of their websites here.
- Remember all the smart things you heard. We keep a list of them in this list of Overheards.
- Listen to the podcast. Many of you listened to the episodes about pitching, but we also have more than twenty other episodes focusing on various aspects of the craft and business of writing. Plus, we'll be adding recordings from several sessions at the conference, including the opening session with Beth deGuzman. You can find the podcast here.
- Survey. You should have received an email with a link to a survey about the conference. We love getting your feedback as we strive to make this annual event as enjoyable for our attendees as possible. Didn't get the email with the survey? Drop us a note and we'll happily resend!
- Volunteer. Are you interested in helping out with Writers' League events such as classes and the conference? If so, email Jordan Smith at [email protected].
Thank you again! And please stay in touch.
