A writers conference holds layers of value. Beneath the shiny, tempting surface of workshops and query sessions lies the deeper, richer motherlode of networking. Conference veteran Bowen Gillings will lead you through how to work it so that, by Sunday lunch, key people know you and want to know you better. This interactive workshop will provide valuable, practical lessons in goal setting, socializing, and self-promotion. We’ll role play on how to push without being pushy, how to be focused while staying casual, and how to hold someone’s attention without seeming to monopolize the conversation. Learn how to properly use business cards and promotional materials. The workshop addresses maximizing planned and opportune free time, meal times, and Bar Con. Plus, how to stay connected post-conference with that agent, editor, or bestselling author you just became friends with.
