Conference Handouts
The conference handouts for next month’s RWA (Romance Writers of America) National Conference are now available. Even if you’re not going (or you don’t write romance), you’ll going to want to check them out.
Pitching at Conference
Agent Andrea Hurst had some suggestions to help you prepare for pitching at a conference. And agent Natalie Fischer explained how to write a one sentence hook.
Have a great weekend everyone.
