Writing Conference No's No's and Do Do's


The writing conference is a place for we writers to allow our collective juices to marinate in a stew of socialized interaction.
It is not a place for fall-down drunkenness, most of the time.
Do not grope anyone who hasn't given you the appropriate nod.
The pitch session is like speed-dating without the inevitable restraining orders which follow; well, sometimes this statement is true.We recall that Tacitus said it best -perniciousness, perniciousness, perniciousness. I have looked it up. Translators got it wrong.
Bring your best work with you. During off hours, sit somewhere visible and read your work aloud, thoughtfully pausing to edit this word or that. Strike a stoic pose while you're at it.
This will alert agents that you are a serious WRITER!
