Backspace Conference

In a week and a half I will be attending my 2nd Backspace Writers Conference in NYC. Last year I went with the expectations that I would land an agent for my first novel, TurmOil. The good news was that I spoke with several literary agents and was able to send them part of the manuscript after the conference. The bad news was that I learned my novel was bloated and not as ready for prime time as I had thought.

Since then I have completed my second novel, Crossing the Wilderness, which I will be bringing to the conference next week. Hopefully the lessons I have learned will be evident and I will have better luck this time.

And then I need to go back and rewrite TurmOil...
