DFW Writers Conference: Meet literary agents, learn from experts
Just 51 days to go until the Workshop's biggest event ever, the DFW Writers Conference, Feb. 23-24!
This is a great opportunity for writers to meet literary agents in person and pitch their work. We've also got a stellar lineup of more than 30 speakers covering all kinds of writing-related topics, from how to write strong characters to how to put together a great press kit. The conference is designed to benefit anyone who's interested in learning more about the craft and business of writing.
The conference will take place at the Grapevine Convention Center, just two blocks south of downtown Grapevine at 1209 S. Main St.
We have four visiting literary agents: Doris Booth, Jim Donovan, Paul S. Levine and Elaine Spencer.
Opportunities for writers to meet the agents include a cash bar and reception Saturday evening, breakout sessions presented by the agents, and a panel Q&A session with all four agents.
In addition, we're happy to announce that we'll be able to offer one-on-one pitch sessions with some of the agents. We have a limited number of slots and they will be parceled out in the order in which writers registered for the conference. So, if you would like a shot at one of these, now is the time to register! If you register in the next few days you stand an excellent chance of getting a one-on-one meeting with an agent.
Registration is $150. For educators and full-time students, it's $75 (Must be 18 to attend). The fee includes Saturday lunch. Attendees are responsible for all other meals. The convention center is conveniently located close to Grapevine's downtown area and Restaurant Row.
The Baymont Inn in Grapevine, only a few blocks from the convention center, has a limited number of hotel rooms at a reduced rate of $99 a night for conference attendees. Call 817-329-9300 to reserve a room. Just tell them you're with the DFW Writers Conference. Rooms must be reserved by Jan. 22.
