It was good to see more than a handful of other writers who do historical, and real historical, not paranormal, fantasy, or contemporary dressed up in period clothes. I did get some good suggestions for both of the queries I submitted. I also had my gut feeling confirmed that my older historical might be able to be queried as adult, not necessarily only upper YA, since it spans more time than most YAs and brings the character to age 20 at the end.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-74466738186423777512012-08-20T09:56:33.121-06:002012-08-20T09:56:33.121-06:00It's so great that we live in a time period wh...It's so great that we live in a time period where people can do conferencing online and save a whole bunch of money in both time, registration, and commuting expenses.<br /><br />Plus, you get all that media uploaded and saved forever so when you forget something, you can go back and watch it.<br /><br />Fantastic idea for sure :)Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-51586378155100037252012-08-20T09:47:52.879-06:002012-08-20T09:47:52.879-06:00WOC was wonderful.
