Spent today at James River Writers’ Conference. Highlights:
- First page critiques with literary agents Michelle Brower, April Eberhardt, and Becca Stumpf
- Short story panel with Leona Wisoker, Michael Parker and Belle Boggs
- Imagery and language panel with Kathleen Graber, Lucia St. Clair Robson and Irene Ziegler
- State of the industry talk by agent April Eberhardt
I will try to find time this week to report more fully about what I learned from these panels. Looking forward to day 2.
I’m staying away from the silent auction. Last time I was near one I discovered that alcohol causes reckless bidding.
