I had a great time teaching at the Colorado Gold Conference! They had a new venue this year. It was perfect, rooms conveniently all on one floor.
I met quite a few authors after each of my three workshops, was unexpectedly hired on the spot to do some freelance editing. I met with international and film adaptation scout Hadley Ramsay and will follow up on her interest in my current project. After my own interview on YouTube and the RMFW podcast with Mark Stevens, he directed me to a link to her interview with him and I discovered that the trends she's seeing in the industry match up well with several projects I have to offer. Solo and collaborative (two with Sister of the Quill Janet Fogg Extraordinaire!) I'm about to send my log lines, contest wins, reviews and praise from publishers Weekly, BlueCat, Page Awards, Huffington Post, Writer’s Digest, and Amazon top 1000 Vine Reviewers.
I'll look forward to hearing from Ms. Ramsay in response to my novel and screenplay pitches.
Here's the link to my YouTube Interview about Agents, the ups and downs of having an agent (forgive nervous-Karen beginning, it gets better).
To all my writer friends, I have been going to this RMFW event for years now. I highly recommend attending the annual CO Gold Conference! Thank you to all those who put their time in and expertise out there. And to Mark Stevens for inviting me to be interviewed about my experience with literary agents.
Great interview, Karen! Glad you're still out there swinging!
