I’m typing this blog entry on Saturday morning. I was too tired to blog last night. We started off the yesterday morning with scrambled eggs fahitas, coffee, juice and muffins. I sat at the table with Natalie Hanemann of Thomas Nelson. Each table has an editor, agent, or speaker assigned, giving attendees a chance to sit and speak with them during meal times.
Natalie kindly told that we needed an agent to submit to Thomas Nelson.
There was praise and worship afterwards, and I attended Randy Ingermanson’s workshop on marketing on the internet.
For lunch I sat at Beth Jusino’s table. Beth is a fairly new addition to the Alive Communications. I started off the meal by pitching my book to her. She invited me to submit a proposal.
After lunch there was more praise and worship time.
I had an appointment in the afternoon with Wendy Lawson of Books N Such agency. She invited me to submit my proposal to her.
I attended an afternoon workshop for taxes for writers.
Dinner last night was free time, so I went with the rest of the Barbour authors to the annual Barbour author dinner. Barbour does this as a treat for their authors and we were also given a small gift from Barbour.
When I returned to the hotel, I attended the workshop: Why We Write For Steeple Hill. It was interesting to hear the authors’ experiences as to how they came to be writing for Steeple Hill.
