New York Pitch Conferences and Reviews, Algonkian Writer Conferences, Poetry and Authors

Yes, it is a candidate for television.

Ever since he made the MAGICIANS IMPOSSIBLE deal with Macmillan Books and Fox Studios he's been scouting the Algonkian writing program for stories to pitch for TV and film. I think he has at least a dozen novels that will be pitched to producers and creative execs... types of shakers like that.

The issue for me right now are the three layers that Author Salon that Mr. Neff has included in the craft section. I see the usefulness of approach, and it makes me cringe to glance at the levels of cake I have to make and bake before the Iron Chef of Publication checks off (btw, I'm trying to be w...

Since I've been hanging around with Liz. But anyone witless enough to believe such diaper poop doesn't possess the wits necessary to write a commercial novel, so Algonkian shouldn't accept them anyway. Course, they could write a really bad one, like SPACE BABY!!!

I think they're trying to keep them separate to prevent any possible confusion. That's how I interpret. I'm not sure how Isa...

A tangent for a moment, did anyone see that perfectly abominable Woody Allen film set in Rome? I think it was the worst script he's ever written. Only one of the four segments actually hung together. The rest didn't hit the points at all. Here is a review that says it better than I can. It's hard to...
