Just giving everyone a heads up about another one-day conference happening on Oct.18, 2008. The Rutgers University Council on Children's Literature will be hosting its 37th Annual One-on-One Plus Conference. Details will be posted on the Website mid-April which is right around the corner.
If you haven't heard about it before, it's a day when 65 individuals (authors and illustrators) get to spend "One-on-One" time with 65 editors, agents and other industry professionals. During lunch you have the opportunity to approach any of those professionals as well to ask questions, obtain business cards and network out of the wazoo!
Last year's cost was $150, and the process is by application only. I encourage everyone and anyone, who wants to get their foot in the door of some of these big-name houses who don't accept unsolicited work, to apply. To be in a room with that many contacts and potential 'contracts' is priceless!

Leeza,
Thank you so much for this. I would really like to attend the Rutgers 1 on 1 and wasn't sure when to submit. So thanks!
I agree! Rutgers is wonderful. I was able to meet editors who had requested my work, pitch new stories, and meet my online writer friends, friends of friends and make new friends.
My advice.... plan your lunch. It's not about the food, it is a great time to listen, learn and meet new people!
Great advice Angela!
