Bayou Writers Group presents 2013 Bridge To Publication

Next month--Saturday, November 9, 2013--is our Bayou Writers' Group annual conference called Bridge To Publication. It's a small, cheap conference but we always have quality speakers.  Just look at this line-up.

Jill Marr - Agent with Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency: Jill is interested in commercial fiction, with an emphasis on mysteries, thrillers and horror, women's commercial fiction and historical fiction. She is also looking for nonfiction by authors who are getting their work published regularly in magazines and who have a realistic sense of the market and their audience. Jill is looking for nonfiction projects in the areas of self-help, inspirational, cookbooks, memoir (she especially loves travel and foodie memoirs), health & nutrition, pop culture, humor and music. She will be taking pitches. http://www.dijkstraagency.com/meet-the-agents.html
