Literary Agent Added to Annual Conference!

As part of the Annual Conference in April, we’re bringing literary agent David Forrer to hear your ten-minute pitches.

David Forrer began his career in publishing in 1997 after receiving a Masters in Creative Writing (fiction) from Boston University. He has been an agent with InkWell Management since it was created in 2004. His areas of interest and representation range from literary, commercial, historical and crime fiction to suspense/thriller, humorous nonfiction and popular history.

Daniel H. Wilson Added to Literary Lounge!

By Leave a Comment

Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robopocalypse, will be among the featured authors at our Literary Lounge on Wed., Jan. 22. This is an opportunity to chat with authors in the relaxed atmosphere of TaborSpace. Ed Goldberg (All Classical Radio) will lead a panel discussion with Stevan Allred (A Simplified Map of the Real World), Willa Schneberg (In the Margins of the World, winner of the 2002 Oregon Book Award for Poetry), Mark Russell (God Is Disappointed in You), and Susan Blackaby (Brownie Groundhog books and many more). Science fiction/fantasy author David D. Levine was originally scheduled but had to cancel. We hope he will join us another time.

After the panel discussion, we’ll break into small groups for conversations with the authors. Don’t miss this opportunity!
