Yes, I am tooting my own horn, but IMHO this weekend’s Create Something Magical Conference went wonderfully. There was so much energy, excitement and enthusiasm in the air from start to finish. I have to give a huge thank you t o my conference committee. They are an amazing collection of individuals and I certainly couldn’t have pulled it off without them. Because I did have such a great committee I was able to set the conference chair on the shelf for a few minutes and pitch my manuscript. I received multiple requests for my work SQUEE! Go Me. But in all seriousness, the conference ran as smooth as it did up to and through the actual day of the conference because of my fabulous committee.
I also have to offer a HUGE thank you to Jonathan Maberry. He was an incredible and inspiring keynote speaker plus he’s been a great support of the Liberty States Fiction Writers Conference from the beginning. There are not words enough to thank him.
Much gratitude goes out to all of the speakers who offered their time and expertise. I’ve heard nothing but great things about every workshop.
To all of the editors and agents that attended we so appreciate you give up your Saturday to join us. Thank you for listening to pitches and for speaking on panels and offering your insights on the industry.
Thank you to all of the attendees, readers and writers alike. The conference certainly wouldn’t happen without you and all of the excitement and energy you bring with you. To all of your who pitched I wish you much luck on your submissions. For those who didn’t next year will be your year.
Finally, I’d like to send a mega shout out to Kim Rocha and all of the Book Obsessed Chicks. You throw one heck of a party, ladies. I was thrilled to have you there. Next year, I’ll have to make a point to get in on at least one line dance. 😉
It really was a magical weekend. I hope to see everyone back next year! For now, the conference chair is going to take a nap.
~Best
