Friday, May 2nd from 9 am to 11 am at

Denny’s has a nice private room where we can close the doors and keep the noise to ourselves.
Discover pros and cons of various strategies on how to find a literary agent and publisher.
What attendees will learn from Chris’s presentation:
- You will be prepared to connect with agents at Writers Conferences and on QueryTracker
- Know You and Your Stuff—manuscript, elevator pitch, one page, you’re extended pitch, etc.
- Chris’s potent PowerPoint includes clips from his award-winning films, social media posts that tens of thousands have viewed, a query, and a book proposal.
- See Chris shoot a short/simple promotional video, ad-libbed, with his iPhone 12 and an audience volunteer.
- You will learn the basics of creating your video speaking reel, getting speaking gigs, building your email list, and getting your name out there.
