I’m all set for the writers conference being held this November on the gorgeous island of Kauai in Hawaii. Booked the conference, luau, my room and two fifteen minute pitch sessions with two agents.
Things are coming together for this; my book is in final beta reading and has been edited and edited. It’s about as ready as I can get it. A little more tweaking and I will try to not play with it anymore. Every artist knows there is a time in the process that you have to stop. At least for a while. Is there more to do? Probably, and I’ll be very happy to listen to an agent’s suggestions. It may be my book, but it’s their business and they know how to bring out the best in a manuscript.
Not only will I get a chance to meet face to face with some of my Hawaii Writer’s Guild friends [zoom works, but in person is best] but I get to rub elbows with famous authors and take classes to improve my work. Not to mention the luxury of the resort. As I told the guy on the reservation line, I wanted a room at the resort so I could be close to the events, I wasn’t going to hang out in the room. I don’t need a fancy room, just a comfy bed, hot shower and fresh towels for the pool. Oh, and wifi for writing. Can’t forget the writing.
