SAGA Conference 2023 - NC

I just got back from the only Genre Fiction writing conference in the Southeastern United States. I had an amazing time and cannot wait for next year.

I have a ton of notes and books to read and learn from waiting in the wings.

Notes:

1. I realize that most of the people there were baby authors who are still writing or just finishing your first book but presentation is important. You are your brand. If you do nothing but complain, that is how the other others and publishers there are going to remember you. You are there to learn, get busy.

2. I want a hands on workshop done at more conferences or at least time to pitch your book and have scenes critiqued.

3. I miss my writing friends when I can't do Cons. The pandemic has really hammered this home for me. Find your Tribe, guys, and never let that go.
