After seeing a group of my blog friends taking part (shout out to Colin, Miss Cole, Rachel and Robin!), I ended up joining Write On Con!, a free virtual writing event where up-and-coming children and teen fiction writers get to interact with agents and learn a few tricks.
I had no idea what it involved when I started taking part, but it’s turned out to be an awesome lesson in how to fine-tune my query from UK cover letter into US format., and I’ve been treated with lots of interesting manuscripts to read and comment on. It reminds me of a smaller, more focused version of AbsoluteWrite.
If you’re a writer and you haven’t yet heard of the convention, there’s still plenty of time to jump in and take part.
If you are taking part, please take a look at my query, 250 words and first 5 pages and I’ll try to critique your work as well.
Thanks for the shout-out, Emma! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the conference. Don’t forget to check out all the events (live Q&A, presentations, chats, etc.) starting tomorrow. :)
Thanks for the shout out! See you there!
Thanks for the shout out! Hope you enjoy the events today! I’m glad you decided to join and found it was worth it. :)
