Whew! I just finished a whirlwind three days at the RMFC Conference. It was fun, inspiring, and exhausting. This was my first time attending the conference but I’m already planning to go back next year. Workshops were geared from the beginning writer all the way to the multi-published author. They ranged from topics such as novel structure and plotting, to making your own book trailer. Denver uber-agent Kristin Nelson gave an interesting presentation on the hybrid author (those who combine traditional and self-publishing) using her client Hugh Howey of WOOL fame as an example.
I met so many interesting people and had a blast. I have to say that it was nice to kick back and enjoy the conference without worrying about having to pitch agents or editors, but my friends had good experiences with their pitches.
Here is a picture of our group at the Saturday Night Banquet (NOTE: We’re not this blurry in real life):
If you’re looking for a solid conference to attend, I highly recommend this one. I also recommend not staying up past midnight if you want to get up for an 8am session but that’s another post (I blame my roommate). 😉 Any other conferences out there that people love?
