It’s time to get ready for conference season.
Thousands of writers will descend on a handful of writer’s conferences this year. Only a few will walk away with a book deal.
To stand out, you must transform into a lean, mean, agent-winning machine….but how?
It’s time to get noticed.
The Karate Kid was just a kid before he met Mr. Miyagi. Rocky was a mess before Mick. And Bilbo Baggins was quite boring before Gandalf. Let’s face it, none of them would be household names without their mentors.
You are going to a writer’s conference to get noticed. You are going to get an agent. You are going because you have stories worth being printed.
So who will be your Mr. Miyagi? Rachelle Gardner and Thomas Umstattd.
That’s right. Double the Miyagi for twice the impact.
So Who is Rachelle Gardner Anyway?

Rachelle is an agent with Books and Such Literary Agency. She has nearly 20 years of industry experience and has done over 120 book deals with some of the biggest publishers in America. She is a sought after conference speaker and her blog (www.RachelleGardner.com) is one of the most popular literary agent blogs in the world. You want her on your team.
Rachelle is giving the inside scoop as a literary agent and veteran of many writers conferences. If anyone is an authority on the topic, she is.
Who is Thomas Umstattd Jr.?

Thomas is a book marketing expert and the founder of Author Media, a company that helps makes authors famous online. He speaks at writers conferences internationally and has helped thousands of writers improve their online platforms.

Help for authors timid about technology








This is such an exciting opportunity. However, I have a previously scheduled appointment. Will there be another chance to get together with Miyagi?
Laura,
We will be giving the recording to everyone who attends. We will also sell the recording after the fact. We are not sure on pricing but are leaning towards $20. So the better deal is to register even if you can’t make it.
I guess I will try to get the recording. The site is not allowing me to register. It says it can’t process it at this time and to try later. I tried 3 times.
