I've never been to the JRW conference before and would love to attend it. Large gatherings of writers (would that be called a gaggle or herd?) are always hugely inspiration and leaves me floating on a cloud of creativity for weeks.
ReplyDeleteHa! I think the correct collective noun is an anthology of authors. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about conferences!
This will be my second year attending the conference. I went last year, and loved so many of the panel discussions, and especially enjoyed getting to chat about all things writerly with other authors. This year, I'm also taking in a YA Historical Fiction book to pitch to an editor. I can hardly wait.
ReplyDeleteYay, Karen! The conference this year is going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks to JRW, there is no better place to write than Richmond. I have attended the conference several times, finding it both top-notch and inspiring. Unfortunately this year I am attending the SCBWI Conference and cannot afford both.
ReplyDeleteAfter years of writing, I am excited to find my niche in middle grade with my first completed manuscript. Now that Beth Phelan from the Bent Agency has been added, I would LOVE the opportunity for her last one-on-one meeting. Middle grade is a specialty for her, and she is “eagerly looking for new writers.” The timing is perfect! Pretty please!
Hope I submitted this all correctly! Thank you for your time and consideration!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Libby. Thanks for entering. Good luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteI would love to attend this writer's conference! I write in the YA genre and want to expand my writing to MG. It would give me the opportunity to explore that outlet and meet with like minded writers and industry professionals!
