I’m heading out to San Francisco this weekend for a one-day conference, where I’ll be giving a presentation on query letters. To that end, although my presentation will differ, I thought it might be interesting — both for my readers and for me — to break down my reaction to a specific query. Diane wrote in some time ago looking for help with her letter. While it’s not in a genre I’m specifically looking for, as with any query, it’s about hooking the reader’s attention and getting them to want to read more.
Alyson Noel’s visit to the Fontana library gets a glowing write-up in a local paper.
I’m off on Wednesday to Los Angeles for BEA and the Pitch Slam Session at the Writer’s Digest Books Writers Conference. If you won’t be in LA to pitch me, or just say hi, here’s a few more upcoming events where I’ll be speaking or meeting with authors. Hope to see you at one of them! And if you’re part of an organization that would like to speak with me about attending a conference or workshop, please email me at events@ktliterary.com.
Back from the beach, with a pile of emails and posts to get all caught up on, more reading still to do (although I got through ALL the books I brought with me to read).
