Shirley at ReviewReview completed an interview with me and should go live soon.
March 17, 2013
I met many wonderful and interesting authors, writers, publishers, fans, marketers, editors, professors, artists, reviewers, media designers, permissions companies, publicists, and more at the AWP Conference in Boston March 6-9. The experience is one I’ll never forget, though I’ve been to writer’s conferences and conventions before. The number of attendees was higher than usual this year.
A special thank you to Boston friends, Rachel and Robert, without you our experience wouldn’t have nearly as pleasant. These wonderful friends also took my daughters and I to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MFA). Though we spent around three hours there, we made it through approximately only one-forth of the museum. The place is spectacular, huge, and educational. http://www.mfa.org/
At Fjords Review. . .
Fjords Review featured many authors who read at Carroll & Sons Gallery. At one point, I spoke to the audience about my experience as a book analyzer/reviewer. Later authors approached me about reviewing their work. One well-respected and multi-published author touched me with her confession. She said she was nervousness about getting her book reviewed. “But after hearing you, I feel brave enough,” she said holding her book out to me. It really is her heart she holds, I thought.
For all the requests I receive to review books, I am sorry I’m not able to read them all. To really do a good job, I have to limit the number otherwise the quality is effected. In addition, if I feel there is nothing positive to say about the work, I’ll refuse to do the review.
At Leapfrog Press. . .
I’m reading contest manuscripts. The hardest part about this is deciding which ones not to move into the “probably not,” the ”maybe,” and the “good” folders. There are multitudes of good writers out there. If the caliber of writing is high, the editor and I check other points. Does the piece grab from the start? Is the sentence structure and style appropriate? Does the story fit Leapfrog style?
Also researching contest for Leapfrog books to enter.
Also learning marketing. Met and spoke with Lisa Milk Carlou, Leapfrog’s marketer while at the AWP, began application of a few of her suggestions. Thanks Lisa!
Also, met a few Leapfrog authors. One author was Allen Learst, a nice guy.
