I've read much of this already, but after buying a copy and doing a quick overview, there's definitely new material added.

Re: New York Write to Pitch 2022 - Observations

I've paged through the whole New York Write to Pitch 2022 website and it's stunning, succinct, and does a great job of highlighting all the stuff that the event offers writers.

Re: New York Pitch Conference Reviews

There was the disturbed fellow who butted his noggin into the elevator door to relieve his frustration at no one wanting his novel. Then we had the vampire Goth creature who chased Neff into the bathroom and threatened a couple of editors. What else? I'll think on it. I was in the group with Rosema...

Re: Sample of Reviews Related to Algonkian Writer Conference

Just had to stop by and post this. A woman scorned went into ballistic overdrive on Algonkian and Michael. Apparently, she was rejected from the pitch conference. Laurence O'Bryan noticed it and was shocked. He made a post in support. Michael followed, then me. I've never read a bigger load of ravin...
