I’d planned to blog about face-to-face meetings with editors and agents in the conference setting today, but there’s no way I can say it as well as Camy Tang did on Gina’s blog, Portrait of a Writer . . . Interrupted:
Getting Yourself Noticed Part I
Getting Yourself Noticed Part II
So are you ready for your pitch sessions? What are your biggest concerns about meeting with an editor or agent for that frighteningly short fifteen minutes?
Excellent information. I’m adjusting my goals for the conference daily based upon my confidence levels.
I did my first pitch session (sort of) last May at the writing conference I went to. I just kind of went into it not expecting anything, just to see what it was like. I’ve work to do to prepare more for the next time I pitch…but I know more about the process now. I’m always slightly nervous, but I know that will probably never change.
