OK will do
Hmmm... in trying to send an email to the address anthology@ll-publications.com, it does not go through. Any thoughts?

Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson Brown said… - Hi Laura, thanks for the support. I got home at 11:30 Tuesday night and ran around all day helping spouse prepare for the audio book launch last night. It was an incredible evening. Todd Randolph, a fantastic actress who is on the audio read from Edith Wharton's biography, A Backward Glance. She read the section on Henry James at The Mount and it was hilarious. What an amazing evening to be sitting on the veranda at The Mount listening to Edith's words. Today, I'm back to reality, such as it is, unpacking, reorganizing and working on the book proposal. I'll let you know how it goes. Nicky

Alle C. Hall said… - Hi, Laura. thank you for the warm greeting.
Actually, over the last week, I was about as Southern as I have gotten -- assuming DC counts. My God, the car thermometer literally read 113 degrees outside. Don't people BAKE THINGS at that temperature? I was happy to return to Seattle, where it is a crisp 68 degrees and rainy.

Rachel Unkefer said… - Yeah, I guess the only other reason to keep talking is to make sure they remember you when they get around to reading those three chapters a month from now. I kind of figure that any personal connection helps.

- I was late for lunch because the person before me in the agent conference went longer than supposed to. My 12:45 appointment started more like 1:00! Annoying!
Both agent conferences went well. I've sent them first 50 pages or whatever they asked for. Now I get to wait. I also got a chance to speak with two authors I've had contact with but not gotten a chance to meet, so that was good. The panels were ok, but the most valuable thing was meeting authors and agents.
When I didn't see you in the afternoon, I figured you'd gone home early since you weren't feeling well. We'll try to meet up again some other time. If you're ever in Charlottesville, be sure to let me know!

- My appointments are something like 12:45 and 2:00--I don't have the email in front of me on this computer. I'm not going to the breakfast, but will get there for the plenary events. My cell is 434-806-6269. Might be easier to sort out schedules once we get there. I haven't had time to look at the day's panels and figure out what to go to or anything. I probably won't have time until Friday night. Sometime during the day on Friday I'm meeting the director of the Bethesda Writer's Center to compare notes about nonprofit writing centers. It's going to be a hectic couple of days.
I read some of the content on your blog yesterday--great suff! I look forward to meeting you.

- Hi, Laura,
I found out the agents I'm meeting with at AIW: Jason Allen Ashlock and Jessica Sinsheimer. Did you get yours? My plan as of now is to stay with a friend in Alexandria Friday night so I can get to the conference Saturday morning. I don't want to have to do the drive from Charlottesville that early.
Are you pitching a novel also or a nonfiction book?

- I finished my research and emailed it last night, but it's on my other computer. I think the list of 4 was:
Jason Ashlock (because he's from Memphis and part of my book is set there)
Anne Hawkins (can't remember why)
Paige Wheeler (I know someone who pitched her at James River Writers and had a good experience)
Jessica Sinsheimer or Hannah Brown Gordon (can't remember which)
I spent a lot of hours researching all these people. We'll see what happens.
I'd be happy to try to meet up sometime during that day. When it gets closer we can try to make a plan. I think a couple of others are coming from Charlottesville and I also know Kristen King, but I don't know how many other people I'll know there, since it's my first time.
I'm not doing breakfast because I am so not a morning person.

- Yikes! I just realized I haven't sent back the email with my agent list. I've been trying to submit queries and take care of a lot of other stuff and completely forgot about that. Honestly, when I researched the list, it was a lot of agents who represent stuff I don't do (nonfiction, romance, zombies, etc.) so I don't know how good a fit I'll find. I think that's why I set it aside to deal with later. I'd better get on that right now. Thanks for the reminder.

ladies.........all fabulous, kept me reading and wanting more.
Since I write more of the romantic type of novels, looks are important for my characters. I come up with their look various ways. I envision what they should look like, and write their attributes down, or I use pictures of people I clip from magazin…
My cousin, Em, doesn't see it. She sees a plain face, limp hair, fat rolls, etc. But to me she's beautiful, and maybe I'm biased, but she's the most beautiful woman I've ever known or seen. It's because she's the sister I never had, my sister in Chr…
