The last thing you want to do is be like the writer who passes her ms to agents in the bathroom stall. Never put authors on the spot at a conference. Talk about awkward.

That will let you know if your book would fall under his/her consideration or not. <br /><br />Also, I (and many other authors I know) require that blurb requests come from editors or agents. Feeling like you could be put on the spot every time you walk into a writing/publishing event can keep established names at home.Cynthia Leitich Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650058326282279022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-47008862973996406422012-10-08T09:36:50.994-04:002012-10-08T09:36:50.994-04:00FANTASTIC post, Sarah!
