Backspace Writers

There's more details on this page, but here's the gist.

The 2007 Backspace Writers Conference brings together authors, literary agents, and editors for a two-day, two-track event featuring panel discussions, workshops, and socializing in the heart of the publishing world, in the Algonquin Hotel in NYC.

Two full-tuition scholarships to the 2007 Backspace Writers Conference will be awarded to writers whose work shows exceptional promise, and who have completed a novel and are actively seeking an agent to represent their work.

Tuition scholarships cover the conference registration fee, travel expenses to and from New York City, and hotel accommodations.

Applications can only be submitted by e-mail and must arrive between January 15 and March 1, 2007. Winners will be notified by April 15, 2007.

Judges will be Mark Bastable, Harry Hunsicker, and Eilzabeth Letts.
