I was on two different panels, a first time novelist panel and a social media panel. At first it was terrifying, but eventually my heartbeat slowed and I got to talk about writing, getting published, and how to promote your writing. The questions were great, even the tough ones, and I found it pretty funny that whenever I spoke I used my hands (You can see the proof above). I think I somehow feel that if I mime what I'm saying I can get my point across better.
Here is the panel featuring the artists and designers that work with publishers and authors to create amazing book covers. Rebecca J. Greenwood was the cover artist for The Shapeshifter's Secret, and she did a great job talking about the process of designing her book covers.
I did a podcast interview with Authors' Think Tank, you can see part of the crew above. My interview won't be up for a while, but I really enjoyed the discussion we had about writer's block, and writing romance (we talked about love triangles, paranormal romance, and cliches in romance--I can't wait to post the interview).
Thanks for a great conference. Goodbye until next year!
Sounds like a great time! I may have to get out that way one of these days. It'll take some advance planning on my part though. :)
ReplyDeleteJeff,
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot! But I know it's hard when you don't live in the area. Hopefully we'll see you there next time.
I didn't know you did a podcast too! I will have to listen to it when it comes out. :)
ReplyDeleteAh! There I am. :) Thanks! It was lovely to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely need to tune into that podcast.
