September 12-14 RMFW Writer’s Conference

Tekno Books Editor John Helfers presents awards to the writing contest winners at 2007 RMFW writer conference.

Each new autumn day brings us closer to the annual Colorado Gold Conference. Staged by the Rocky Mountain Fiction writers, this year will be the 25^th conference, and offers an impressive line-up of agents and editors.

This year the Colorado Gold conference is scheduled for September 12, 13 and 14. Visiting editors include Ben LeRoy (Bleak House Books), Daniela Rapp (St. Martin’s Press), Denise Little (Tekno Books) and Faith Black (Avalon Books).

And look at the variety and quality of agents you can meet at this conference! Becca Stumpf (Prospect Agency), Donna Bagdasarian (Maria Carvainis Agency), Kate Schafer (K T Literary), Kristin Nelson (Nelson Literary Agency), Laura Rennert (Andrea Brown), Miriam Kriss (Irene Goodman Literary Agency) and Rachelle Gardner (Wordserve Literary).

Add to that impressive assembly the keynote speaker, NY Times Best-selling Author P. J. Parrish and NY Times Best-selling Author Shirley Jump as the closing speaker, and over twenty published authors who will share their market knowledge and writing techniques in three days of powerful writing workshops — and you can see why this conference is one of the region’s hottest.

I’ll be there on Friday, presenting my workshop, “BORN FREE” – how setting your characters free can strengthen your novel. I’ll also be there to proudly announce our newly published authors and present them with their Pen Award on Saturday night.
