I’ll be one of over 100 presenters at the Write on
Conference. It’s incredibly cheap (as low as $1 but I recommend the $5 option), and you attend from the comfort of your own
home! The conference will be hosted through the WriteOnCon
website.
Here’s how the organizers explain the conference:
“WriteOnCon is a children’s literature conference for writers.
When you’re trying to improve your writing craft or hoping to get published,
conferences are a must on anyone’s list – but they can be stressful and
expensive. Our goal is to provide a conference experience that’s easy, fun, and
affordable. We encourage you to get involved, improve your writing, and connect
to the kidlit community – all from the comfort of your own home.”
“December 15 is the last day for the WriteOnCon
Indiegogo campaign. After this date admission will be available through our
website but prices will go up (by just $1! but it’s still worth signing up
now), and – more importantly – all of the critique perks will no longer be
available.” (You can get query, picture book, or first pages critiques from
published authors, editors and agents, for $20-$65, with some more expensive
options for full manuscript critiques and other items.) “Also, everyone who
signs up during the IGG campaign will be entered into a raffle to win one of
two query critiques, a personal video call with an agent, or one of several
ARCs for fabulous books releasing next year.”
They also offer “Ninja Agents” – you can post your query letter or writing sample in the forums, agents will stop by, and they may leave feedback – or even request the manuscript!
