But I have an idea--how about doing an interview on our site after the conferences? I'm sure your experiences and insights would be most appreciated by other readers. Let me know if you'd be willing to be interviewed?Kae and Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169990362453797344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019772418676226042.post-53110804619113474432009-05-11T11:56:00.000-04:002009-05-11T11:56:00.000-04:00Great story on Dave Barry! How cool that you were ...Great story on Dave Barry! How cool that you were in on his whole beginning. (And "The Taming of the Screw" and "Babies and Other Hazards of Sex" are funny, brilliant titles!) <br /><br />I'm getting nervous and excited for the BEA Writer's Conference followed by the Backspace Writer's Conference in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting agents and authors alike, to tightening my pitch, and to learning as much as I can. I attended the Algonkian Pitch and Shop last September and learned a lot, although there was too much "down time" during the four day conference (it could have easily been three days). Looking at the schedules for BEA and Backspace, I don't think that will be the case here.<br /><br />Any advice for us writers attending either or both of these conferences?Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.com
