I don't think I could make it through a pitch conference without throwing up on the shoes, so congrats on that!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923598644163139339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959693.post-51061003567144094242008-05-25T05:09:00.000-07:002008-05-25T05:09:00.000-07:00So jealous.

Yippee! What a great experience...I have been to four conferences, but none of them had a pitch session (thank god). I only met with an agent at one of them, and she had already read a sample of my work and gave me a critique, which was helpful. I think my mouth would turn into butter if I had to pitch my novel.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959693.post-70843015379720934872008-05-22T10:10:00.000-07:002008-05-22T10:10:00.000-07:00I am sooo ready for the next one, Shawn!

Sure, it's not perfect, but after a few glasses of wine who knows how long we'd go on ... and how many turnoffs we might send? A one liner is short and sweet enough to leave them wanting more. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps best of all is the short meeting, as scary as it is, followed up that night with a chat in the bar??? : )<BR/><BR/>Where's our next writing conference? : )Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038370158284663729noreply@blogger.com
