I presented two classes (Querying & Dialogue) at the Storymakers Conference this weekend, and honestly, I don't think I've ever had this much fun at a Conference. It was amazing.
Here is an example of just one meal. I'd name everyone, but it would probably blow your minds, and I wouldn't feel good about doing that. You probably recognize a few of them...but that many cool people at one table? I'm pretty sure we surpassed the ratio of coolness normally allowed in a single location...and it rocked.
I met so many fantastic people in one weekend! And I discovered something: agents in person are my new favorite group of people. Michelle Wolfson and Holly Root were utterly lovely and SO much fun!
Anyway, great books + great people + great classes = a fabulous weekend. I have the best job ever. I'm totally re-energized and ready to dig in to my edits and sequel.
What about you? Did you do anything fun this weekend?

I so wanted to go to this conference. I'm hoping to be there next year.
ReplyDeleteWhat class did you present?
ReplyDeleteRight...lol, guess I should've put that in the post. It's fixed now. They were on queries and dialogue. :)
DeleteI am sooooooo J-E-A-L-O-U-S!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like so much. I wrote my final paper'/senior thesis this weekend and I am handing it today. YEA being done with undergrad! :-D
ReplyDeleteI loved the conference. Everyone at the conference was so nice. I was impressed with the guest agents/editor/presenters. Quality people.
ReplyDeleteI recognize some faces in your picture. Sorry I didn't bump into you at the conference. I hope all goes well with your new novel.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see you and hang out. You guys rocked your classes! I loved Holly and Michelle, too. It was an awesome weekend that ended too fast!
ReplyDeleteJenn, you are such a generous and kind person that karma's got you covered. You are going to do so well! It was my total honor to get to know you :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Look at my hair! I totally need a new haircut. =D Oh and less of a red nose (I hate colds).
ReplyDeleteI had a great time. Dinner was amazing! Mmmm.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's too bad I didn't see you there. It was a great conference!
ReplyDeleteThe conference just blew by so fast! All of the classes I went to were awesome, and it is always so much fun to be with so many amazing people, present company definitely included!
ReplyDeleteI think you like to torment me by reminding me how much fun I missed!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha this made me laugh. Maybe I'll try to go next year....it seems like a good conference.
