Query Fest, #RWA10 - Update

As I have seen on the loops out there, many of you are just as excited about nationals this year as I am! I've already got my calendar filling up like you!

I did want to remind all of you about Query Fest!
Saturday morning from 8:30-10:30 in the Americas Seminar Room we'll be talking query letters. Jessica Faust, Christine Witthohn, Miriam Kriss, Paige Wheeler and myself will be taking the first hour and reading through query letters that come in. Bring in that query letter and we will do some cold reads. Yes, if we hear something we like, we might be asking for more.

During the second hour, we'll be breaking up into small groups, you get to work with agents one on one to clean up those queries.

Don't forget that the handouts are located online this year. I will have them on a computer with me but during the workshop portion, we will likely be using that information so don't forget to bring your copies with you!


Yes this will be early in the morning but I am convinced this will be a session you don't want to miss out out.

Make sure to get there early. I am sure this will be a standing room only session.

Query Fest Update

Hey all,

I wanted to remind all of you that I along with some other agents will be at RWA Nationals in Nashville running a 2 hour session called Query Fest. It will be Saturday morning.

Miriam Kriss, Paige Wheeler, Jessica Faust, Christine Witthohn and myself will be taking time to work with everyone who shows up on query writing. So here are the details:

HOUR 1 - We'll be doing cold reads of query letters from writers. Bring a 1 page query letter with you to nationals to be critiqued. We will get though as many as possible.

HOUR 2 - Small group workshops. You'll be paired with one of the 5 of us to help re-work and re-write your queries.

And yes, if we like what we hear, there is a chance we will ask for more.

Please do not send queries to us for the Query Fest. Bring those with you to the conference!

Query Fest, #RWA10

More details will come on this as they develop, but I thought I would let you all know about this. Great opportunity for those of you coming to nationals. Photo of flyer is not the biggest but I think you can increse the size on your computer.
