Looking, but not touching (…much)
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006Taking a last look at my writing is part of my preparation for the Writers League of Texas Agents and Editors Conference that I’ll be attending this weekend.
Tonight and tomorrow, I’ll be reviewing (and maybe revising …just a little) the synopsis and first three chapters of Consumption. That’s a typical amount of writing for an agent to ask to see if s/he is possibly interested in your novel. Of course, I’d also be thrilled to send along the full manuscript if requested.
I have a ten-minute consultation with Betsy Amster (President of Betsy Amster Literary Enterprises) on Saturday that I’m really looking forward to, and I’ll also seize opportunities to chat with other agents, editors, and writers. The breakout sessions look great, too!
I’m expecting to learn a lot, and I’ll gladly share it with you in next week’s posts.
‘Til then, wish me luck with pitching my novel (crossed fingers or four-leaf clovers would be appreciated)!

Hi Cheney!
I’m happy you found the site, and thanks for saying hi. It’s great to be connecting with another novel writer! I hope your writing is going well.
Today was a very busy and wonderful day at the conference. I’d love to say more right now, but it’s getting late, and tomorrow is the final day (so getting some sleep would be a good idea). I’ll post more information about the event beginning on Monday.
Thanks for your interest and well wishes,
Cuileann
