Hey #writingcommmunity, if you have an opportunity to attend an @writingdaywksp, do it! I went to @tennww and learned from pros like @DebbieDadey and @JessicaBurkhart. I had the chance to pitch my work to two agents. And the hotel was dog friendly! pic.twitter.com/jbMqXmUkLx

Great “first pages” session at #tennww with some amazing agents @LitAgentKelly @AWomanReading @alicespeilburg @JulieGwinn Take aways: avoid too much exposition, anchor reader in the world, connect us to character. Some amazing talent in TN! #amwriting #writingcommmunity
