NYC Writer’s Conference Day 1

By Paul Biba

It’s late so just a brief post. Have to get up early to go back to NYC in the morning. Very interesting conference. I wouldn’t want to be an author – getting something published isn’t any fun.

Here’s a quick summary of the Twitter posts I made from the Conference. I’ll try to tweet again tomorrow:

At Writers Conf. Very interesting so far. Small presses report it can take 1 year or more to get book reviewed – if at all

Conference: agents say self publishing experience will count against you with big publishers when you go to sell new book to them

Conf: agents say non fiction very crowded with major pubs and small presses a good choice in this area

Conf: non-fiction editors all say agents very important “the still center of a chaotic universe”
