I’m spotlighting an upcoming conference for mystery writers (wish I could make it, but I have a conflict).  SleuthFest 2018 will take place in Boca Raton, Florida, on March 1-4 at the Embassy Suites. It’s an intensive four-day conference featuring writing workshops, social events, and pitch sessionsThe conference includes four tracks of workshops, presentations, and panels on the craft of writing, business, traditional and self-publishing, marketing, and forensics. In addition, top literary agents and editors will be available to hear pitches from aspiring writers, offer troubleshooting sessions, and manuscript critiques.  Speakers include Andrew Gross, Hallie Ephron, and Hank Phillippi Ryan. To Register:  www.sleuthfest.com.

    As always, Elizabeth, this is a great set of links, for which thanks. I noticed there are a few on international publishing this time, and that interests me. I’ve not thought enough yet about getting my work translated for other markets. I ought to explore the idea.

      Babelcube is practically the only game in town now (for royalty-sharing translation, not for selling of foreign rights), but I’m hoping with blockchain, there might be a good royalty-sharing alternative down the line.

    Thanks for including the IWSG’s post.
    Sorry you can’t make the conference. That is a ways away though.

      It is…but it sounds like a good one!

      Hope you have a good week!

    Thanks for the great links. Always amazes me how many resources there are. Too bad you can’t go to the conference. I’m going to an online one-WriteOnCon in two weekends. I’m excited.

      Hope you have fun and get some useful info! Online conferences are my favorites. :) I’ve heard good things about WriteOnCon (children’s literature and illustration, right?)

    Awesome list. There are several I’ll be checking out.

    Would be awesome to be in Florida right now.

      Wouldn’t it? It’s very gloomy and chilly in NC today.

  7. Bryan FaganJanuary 29, 2018

    With all the resources available there is no excuse.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 29, 2018

      That’s true! Although sometimes there’s almost so much info that the resources themselves become the time-suck!
