Hi, all!
I know that this is not a part of my series that I’m working on, but I feel that you should all be aware of a wonderful opportunity in the writing world.
On Oct. 19, Karen Ball will be the featured speaker at Memorial Road Church of Christ in Edmond, OK at an all-day mini-conference. For those of you who don’t know, Karen Ball is a literary agent for the Steve Laube Literary Agency–a very prestigious agency! She also worked as an executive editor for various publishing houses over the past 30 years, and she’s also an author.
She is going to speak on four different subject: Write Your Passion & the Spiritual Side of Writing, How NOT to Get Rejected, Taming Fiction Dragons, and Everything You Want to Know About Editors, Agents, and Publishing (Q&A).
The mini-conference will start bright and early at 8:30 am and will continue until 4:30 pm. It is open to the public, but you must register to attend. Online registration is $50 and at-the-door registration is $60. The mini-conference will also allow you to submit a 20 page segment of your first chapter for local authors to take a look at and give you hints and tips for an additional $15 fee.
