My Adventures in … Oklahoma City
I just got back from instructing in Oklahoma City at the Oklahoma Writers’ Federation Conference.
And wow, what a great, nice group of people. Everyone there was just
wonderful. As a bonus, it was held at the Embassy Suites, which, ahem,
may or may not have free alcoholic drinks between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.
(That was an unexpected bonus.) I got to see some literary agents who
were there, including Louise Fury and Emmanuelle Morgen. Below see some photos and notes from the event.
There were sessions, panels, lots of chances to pitch agents, and
great dinners. This conference really seems to give attendees a lot for
their money.
I taught twice — once on getting an agent in person and once on making money writing for magazines. Both speeches seemed to go over quite well.

I Will Speak At These Great Writing Events in 2012:
This
is me at a 1-on-1 consultation with a writer working on his pitch. I
was told by one writer (who attends lots of conferences) that the OFW
conference is one of the best nationwide at getting a good bang for
your buck. The event is extremely affordable.
I taught twice — once on getting an agent in person and once on making money writing for magazines. Both speeches seemed to go over quite well.
Do NOT tell my dog I was giving this other pop some belly rubs.
This
is my OFW volunteer, Larry Mike, who helped to shepherd me around all
weekend and teach me lots of stuff about the region. He even took me to
get a steak at the famous Cattleman's Cafe. (The steak was delicious.)
Naturally,
if there is a piano, you will find me at it playing pop and rock songs.
I'm not sure, but it looks like I was in the middle of some Bon Jovi
right here.
