PUT YOUR HEART IN A BOOK CONFERENCE
Thursday after work, I travelled to Islin, NJ for the New Jersey Romance Writers of America’s Put Your Heart in a Book Annual Conference. I had three goals in mind going into this weekend:
What I didn’t expect, however, was meeting such wonderful, funny, lovely people to spend my time with. I knew I would meet people and talk to my fellow writers, but I had been prepared to eat my dinners alone and spend my free time reading or watching movies in my room. Thank you McCall, Cera, Karen, Diana, and Ester for making this weekend so much more than I had expected. Although I learned a great deal about publishing and writing, I also simply enjoyed my time with you. Thank you for making my experience so memorable.
As for my conference goals, I HIT EVERY SINGLE GOAL! Bob Mayer signed my book, an agent AND a publisher asked for my full manuscript, another publisher asked for a partial, and I learned so much about my craft that I’m soggy with information. I can’t believe that I pitched to the best publishers and agents in NYC and they want to read my work. Granted, they still have to read my work and like the damn thing, but throughout the year and a half that I’ve been querying, I know that the wins in publishing are far and few between. I’ve learned to take enjoyment in the small moments when they appear, so I’m enjoying this one. No matter what happens once I submit my fulls and partials, this weekend, I tasted victory.

Thursday after work, I travelled to Islin, NJ for the New Jersey Romance Writers of America’s Put Your Heart in a Book Annual Conference. I had three goals in mind going into this weekend:
- Get Bob Mayer to sign Agnes & the Hitman
- Get at least 1 agent or publisher to ask for my full manuscript
- Learn something new about writing, finding an agent, or getting published
