San Franscisco Writers Conference

Feb. 18th -- This is my second year as a speaker at the San Franscisco Writers conference (www.sfwriters.org). This event takes place every year in February at the St. Mark's Hotel on Nob Hill. It's a great place for writers to meet each other as well as book agents, editors, published authors, and other industry professionals. The conference is organized by Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen from the San Francisco based Larsen Pomada Agency (www.larsen-pomada.com). Along with the Santa Barbara Writers Conference in June (www.sbwritersconference.com), it is one of my favorites.

This year I presented with author Marta Acosta (www.martaacosta.com) and independent editor Lisa Rector-Maass on "What Happens After Your Publishing Deal". We spoke a lot about platform development and marketing, and the talk itself inspired me to start my blog. I am looking for share my experience as an entertainment professional to help content creators succeed navigating film, television, publishing, and media. I'd also really also like to have my own book done by this time next year. That said, I am going to be posting some of the working copy here on the blog, and I invite your feedback.
