Conventions

Let's get right into it.

I finished the first book, and had no idea how to go forward. My query letter and synopsis weren't good and I knew it. I also had no writing mentor, group, etc. So I decided to go to a conference. I chose Pennwriter's based on which editors/agents were going to be there, and I was not disappointed. In the meantime I worked on other projects (secret for now, sorry) and went through A Monstrous War sentence by sentence.

I learned a lot and finally got some pages in the right hands.

I want to keep things shorter, in order to update more often, so next time a little about David Pomerico of Del Rey Spectra, who in about 10 minutes vastly improved my first few pages.
