Editors
from various magazines and book
publishers will be available for
15-minute appointments, as well
as informal mealtime conversations
throughout the conference.
You can request up to three individual
appointments to discuss your writing
projects
and their current editorial needs.
Sign-ups for appointments with
editors will be
Thursday evening after the general
session. (Appointments will take
place at the same time as the
classes, clinics, and workshops.)
We will have agents, magazine
editors, and book editors available
for appointments. Also, you may sign up for an appointment with a CWG mentor.
The conference offers opportunities to meet with magazine and book editors, agents, and CWG mentors. When your opportunity comes, step up to the table self-assured. Shake the editor's hand firmly, be seated, and introduce yourself (don't expect the editor to read your name tag). Talk briefly about your writing interests or a single project you think might fit the editor's needs. Then stop talking and listen.
Your appointment will go by in a flash. If you do all the talking, you won't receive the benefit of the editor's expertise.
If you don't get to talk one-on-one during an appointment, you can usually sit with an editor during meals. Listen and ask questions, being careful not to monopolize the editor's time. Also, make a point of introducing yourself to other authors and find out about their writing and target readers.
