ACFW = A Successful Conference

We have all just returned from the ACFW conference in St. Louis where is “all fiction all the time.” It is a wonderful and unique experience to have over 600 novelists in one building all “making stuff up.”

Every agent from our agency was there. And we had nearly 40 of our clients in attendance.

I taught two classes (one co-taught with Tamela and another on contracts with the lawyer/author Rick Acker). In addition I spent eight hours, over two days, in a small room taking 15 minute pitch appointments. We all did, as a matter of fact. If you count the hallway serendipities, the meal times talking with authors, the appointments, etc, I would guess that our agency, as a whole, spoke one-on-one to nearly 200 authors. Exhilarating and Exhausting.

The awards banquet on Saturday night was fun. One of my clients, Patrick Carr!, Won for best speculative fiction. Congratulations Patrick!

If you are an aspiring novelist and can make the trek, we highly recommend you consider joining ACFW and also consider attending a future conference. Next year will be in Dallas.

Did you know that cats really do talk like this? But only when humans are not around to hear them. It’s true. I saw it on the Internet. Thanks to my daughter Fiona for showing me this one!

Today’s video is a smile maker. A great reminder to say “thank you” to someone today. Your words may be a blessing to one who needs it. Last week I had some rough days personally and professionally…and then a client’s brand new book arrived in the office. In it, on the acknowledgment page, she thanked me for my hard work on her behalf. It was just the right thing at …

When grown men have too much time on their hands and have lost patience waiting for the next “Star Wars” installment. [Warning: there is definite guy-humor in this…explosions and other fun things.] The ending is hilarious.

Since we are in the midst of Summer and I’m on a brief vacation I thought I’d ask you to tell us what books you are reading or planning to read this Summer. I’ll start… My list is intentionally eclectic because that is the way I graze with my reading: Deeper Life: The Spiritual Practice of Remembering by Margaret Bendroth Publishing: Just My Type: A Book about Fonts – …
