The writing conference season is upon us. In my part of the world, I’m gearing up for the Silken Sands Writing Conference. At this conference (and the others that are lined up across the country), writers have the opportunity to pitch their stories to editors and agents. I’ve recently posted an article I wrote on pitching (it’s in the writer’s section of my website). I thought this article might help a bit, as writers prepare for the big pitching moments.

And, by the way, here is some more information about the Silken Sands Conference:

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Come on, an ex-CIA Assassin?   Oh, yeah, I’ll be listening to his speech.

An assassin, sandy beaches, pitch sessions–if you’re in the Pensacola, FL, area, you should definitely check out this event.
