Pam, if you ever get the opportunity to go to a SinC conference, I hope you do. I've heard that they are wonderful. You will be able to do some great marketing and networking, I'm sure.

One of the best things about coming back from a conference is how "fired up" I am about writing again. You really get motivated.

You can learn everything from developing characters to pitching to an agent, to promotion and publicity. to the latest publishing trends to writing for television.
