I arrived in Dallas this morning. At 3:30, there was a worship service as well as a comical skit given by the ACFW board.

After enjoying a rather surprisingly tasty lasagna dinner, there was an agent panel. Allen Arnold, VP of Thomas Nelson served as our emcee. He said that Thomas Nelson plans to expand more into women’s fiction, romance, and softer fiction and young adult.

He asked all agents what they were looking for and they responded.

People in the audience asked questions and the agents responded. There was also an editor panel and we were able to ask the editors questions.

James Scott Bell, our keynote speaker gave a speech about the craft of writing.

I attended a late-night chat with Rebeka Nesbit of Tyndale and Jan Staub(sp?) about getting noticed in a saturated market.

A fellow ACFW conferee had a great chocolate party in her room, allowing me the opportunity to network.

I know the above summary was brief, but I’m tired and have to go to bed in order to get up for breakfast in the AM. Feel free to comment with your questions, and I will post responses in the comment section.
