My meeting with the agent went better than I expected. Of course, after we parted I thought of half a dozen questions to ask him. But he’ll be emailing me next week.
The things that stood out to me:
He really likes my writing, and I’m the only unpubbed author he’s looking at right now.
He understands my […]
I’m at ICRS in Orlando, and today I’m meeting with agent number one per his request. We’ll be “discussing” my WIP and probably brainstroming the changes he’d like me to make. I’m not sure what will come of this meeting, maybe I can find a compromise to my WIP I can live with. Something that […]
I heard back from one agent! Funny thing is after reading his email I didn’t feel any real emotion! I guess because it was neither a rejection or an acceptance. To paraphrase he said, good start, good hook, good story…then he suggested two things:
1) that I find a fiction editor to help me tighten my […]
I know it’s been a long time, and I should have updated this sooner, but I’ll give it my best shot and conclude what has turned into a series.
I tried to get a meeting with Chip MacGregor, but he was all booked. I put my name on a list in case something opened up. Later […]
When I last wrote I had mentioned I had a really great conversation with Steve Laube, one of the agents who liked my One Sheet in the late night chat and who I had an appointment with the next day. But I didn’t share any details.There’s not much to share on the writing side of […]
It’s been over a month since I attended ACFW in Dallas and though the details are blurring, I want to try and get as much info down as I can.
Friday morning I arrived to breakfast to discover the tables were being hosted by editors and agents. In the past breakfast was more laid back, […]
I had already signed up for the Agent Panel late night chat. I had already had my one sheet. I already email the moderator of the late night chat telling him I was going to submit it to the panel.
When I walked into the packed room, I already had second thoughts.
It was after the […]
Meeting James Scott Bell
It was late when I finally arrived at ACFW. I had driven for over five hours and then visited with my sister in Fort Worth at the hospital. After making two treks from the car to the hotel room, I was tired. But not tired enough to change into my Writer…Interrupted T-shirt […]
I mentioned in a previous post how the day before I was to attend the ACFW I get a phone call that my sister had a heart attack. It was odd, but I had no concern for my sister’s health, just a peace that everything would be alright.Still the […]
I can’t believe it’s only five days until conference. FIVE DAYS! Where has the time gone? It feels like I’ve been polishing and typing and fixing and writing my proposal for MONTHS. And I have!
I still have a few more things to tweak, and I managed to crank out a pretty decent nonfiction proposal as […]
