Other Projects

  • I attended the Atlanta Writers Conference on May 2-3.
    • The conference was well-organized, well-attended and extremely educational.
    • It was refreshing to network with so many authors and agents.
    • I made some great connections and learned so much!
    • On Saturday, May 3rd, I pitched my two YA novels and my screenplay to three literary agents.
      • I was invited to submit the full manuscript of Sleuthing Meddling in Santa Monica to the head of an agency.
      • I was also invited to query (as a referral) the head of another literary agency regarding either of my manuscripts; I chose Our Selfless Journeys.
      • I submitted everything requested on Monday, May 5th.
    • I was also recently notified of interest in Our Selfless Journeys by another literary agency
