Appointments With Some Agents Are Filling Fast; Early Registration for 2010 DFW Writers’ Conference Recommended

At the Sep­tem­ber 23 mee­ting of the DFW Wri­ters’ Workshop, mem­bers were advi­sed that appoint­ments with some of the lite­rary agents are star­ting to fill-up.

For exam­ple, authors inte­res­ted in pitching their books to Joshua Bil­mes, Lucienne Diver, or Gina Panet­tieri had bet­ter regis­ter now. The slots for all three agents are over a quar­ter of the way full and going fast. Appoint­ments with many of the other agents  are also filling quickly. This is defi­ni­tely a case where if you snooze, you could lose, so regis­ter early to secure your place in line.  

Mem­bers were also told that the tenth, and final, agent had been named. Mary Kole, who repre­sents children’s pic­ture books as well as Middle Grade and Young Adult authors, has been added to the ros­ter. The agents atten­ding the 2010 DFW Wri­ters’ Con­fe­rence are:

Anne Haw­kins | John Haw­kins & Asso­cia­tes, Inc.
