Additional conference features:
- Small group meetings with speakers – In addition to Q&A within each speaker’s presentation time, all attendees can also attend small group meetings with our speakers. These meetings are come-and-go “get to know you” meetings where writers can ask questions and convey information about their project. They are NOT manuscript review sessions, and the speakers are under no obligation to follow up with you after your meeting. No sign-up necessary.
- Submit Your Pitch! – Within two months afterwards, submit your book proposal or pitch to the conference’s literary agents (email it to Brian Allain, who will forward it)
- Open mic session – Attendees will have the opportunity to present a short excerpt of their writing to other conference attendees. Each speaker will have 5 minutes, including their introduction and reading. Don’t miss this important, but optional, opportunity to gain experience reading your work, and to support your fellow writers! Each speaker will be limited to 5 minutes. Sign-up will be available after you register for the conference – first-come, first-served.
- Elevator pitch practice – Practice delivering your 50-word elevator pitch, and get feedback from attendees and Brian Allain. No sign-up required.
- “How to Become a Content Marketer”
- Conference Contact List – We will maintain an online spreadsheet where attendees can (optionally) share their name, email address, website, and social media info if they would like to share it with conference attendees.
- Private Facebook Group for WFYL conference attendees – stay in touch before, during, and after the conference
- Conference bookstore
