Writing Conferences

Posted by Beverly Hill Apr 5, 2009

I got the opportunity to attend the 6th Annual Emerald Coast Writers Conference in Fort Walton Beach, Florida this year, and was pleasantly surprised by what I experienced, hence the article "What to Expect at a Writer's Conference."

If you're a writer trying to break into the industry, you can learn a lot at one of these conferences. I highly recommend it. I got to mingle and talk with agents, publishers, aspiring writers, and established authors. In fact, I became fast friends with one author who turned out to be from my home town, and I also made a number of new local friends at the conference.

It's also a great tool for getting your head out of a current project and interjecting it with some fresh ideas. There's a part in one of my works-in-progress novels that I've been stuck on for some time, and I now have the tools that I need in order for my hero to save the day. Yeah!
