Your presentation for the PAL intensive was wonderful. And you are also generous with your wisdom and as much fun as everyone else you've mentioned. Thanks for making the drive!Bonnie J.

It IS motivating to get out there and do research on who will be interested in my book. <br /><br />My favorite part was your answer to the question of, "What if I only have two sentences written? When should I start this market research?" <br /><br />You answered, "Now! Today. Tomorrow..?"Jess of All Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226845737117403585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-25572641259420753122010-09-29T22:31:45.042-04:002010-09-29T22:31:45.042-04:00Wow Shelli, it looks like you had such a great tim...Wow Shelli, it looks like you had such a great time at the conference!

I so agree about going to conferences and the information nuggets gained and the incredible folks you meet.<br /><br />It makes me smile to hear you say that meeting agents, editors, or published authors can make you nervous- not only do I relate to that, but I felt the same way when I met you and SpringMingle!<br />And just so you know....if you hadn't squealed about being nervous, we would have NEVER guessed it; your composure is perfect and your personality is warm and inviting.<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning the trends Liz Waniewski discussed, my MG that I'm subbing fits the categories and may prove useful in my agent queries as well.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031330729309997361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-55672272739509777172010-09-28T16:02:36.970-04:002010-09-28T16:02:36.970-04:00Wow!

I don't know how that happened again...<br /><br />I went to Elizabeth Dulemba's presentation... she is awesome, as you know. She gave great advice and provided a kind of map for making dummies. And she just shines with love for children's literature and illustration.<br />All the presenters truly were amazing--- I was totally charmed by Laurent Linn and got so much out of his workshops.<br />It was a wonderful conference!CLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590549841681441356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33821110.post-12145104535870750812010-09-28T10:51:15.077-04:002010-09-28T10:51:15.077-04:00LOVE!
