The summer
is when a writer’s (at least this one’s) fancy turns towards conferences. There
are a lot of good conferences during the summer and fall that I itch to attend.
But because my resources are limited, I have to choose carefully those
conferences which I believe will do me the most good for my not-yet-budding
career as a writer. I’m looking for conferences about craft, not conventions
about fandom. I want to meet publishing professionals and fellow authors. I
want to attend a conference dedicated to the genre(s) I write.
It doesn’t
take long for one conference name to swim to the top: Crimebake.
Now, I
wonder which agents are going to be there. Time to start researching them and
their authors.
