Anyhow, I'm here to tell you about something that's more suited for those with a pulse. My apologies it's so last minute - I only found out about this today.
Bookbuilders of Boston is hosting a talk entitled Beyond the Pitch Letter: A Roundtable with Authors, Agents, and Editors. I'm planning on attending so I have more to tell folks about this process, even if I ain't working with them. (I did this a lot at an academic conference this weekend, but more on that in another post.) (Except I will say that I loved DC as much as I thought I might.) The participants on the roundtable are:
- Ann Collette of the Helen Rees Literary Agency
- Self-promoting author extraordinaire Stephen Puleo (and I mean that in a good way - his book Dark Tide is worth all that promotion!)
- Houghton Mifflin Harcourt editor Deanne Urmy
- Joanne Wyckoff, literary agent at Zachary Shuster Harmsworth
It should be a good time, but don't let me stop you from blowing dust off jackets and debating the best quality backstrips from 17th century editions.
* For the record, I've actually attended and enjoyed this fair and my comments above are only here to irritate Christopher. If others get offended, it's merely friendly fire. My apologies.
