Listen "Intro to Conferences"
Episode Synopsis
Hello! In this episode we talk about writer conferences. What they are, why you should go or not, and which ones are worth the investment. Here are some of the authors, artists, and other things we brought up during the episode. Just a disclaimer - please do not take our word as fact. The publishing industry is always changing, and often we are talking about things we are remembering from a while ago or have heard from others. While the agent deep dive is always fact checked, we do not prep for these episodes or look up other information beforehand. It’s always important to do your own research! If we realize after the fact that we have gotten anything wrong, we will do our best to correct it in the show notes.Links for Agent Sarah Landis:https://www.sll.com/our-teamhttps://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sarah-landis/https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/dealmakers/detail.cgi?id=54166Writers conferences to check out:https://thewritelife.com/writers-conferences/Storymakers Conference:https://storymakersguild.org/storymakers-conferenceMilkwood Retreat:https://www.milkwoodfarm.org/2025-scheduleAlaska Writer’s Guild:https://www.alaskawritersguild.com/Author Ronald L.
