31 Spectacular Writing Conferences and Workshops in September 2023 - Publishing ...and Other Forms of Insanity

I see one in Washington state.

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Publishing ... and Other Forms of Insanity site. There he found a post about writers' conferences and workshops in September.

 

 Erica Verrillo's post lists conferences and workshops for fiction and nonfiction writers, memoir, poetry, screen, and children's writers, and agent, editor and publisher pitching sessions. The conferences and workshops are online or in-person. There are no registration deadlines listed (except for one which has already passed) so you'll need to go to the sites to check the dates. There are also some restrictions.

 

Panzer says, "Some of the in-person conferences are free."

Note: This is a long-medium length post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on while you read the post.

Children's Book Success Story

Whew! That was quite a trip today.

Panzer took a leisurely trip out into the Catosphere today. While our bad boy was tootling around out there, he made a stop at The Guardian site. He stumbled onto a post about an indie success story.

According to a post by Alison Flood, the indie children's book The Little Girl (or Boy) Who Lost Her (or His) Name has sold 500,000 copies and sales are still going strong.  David Cadji-Newby and three others founded the Lost My Name publishing company in 2012 for the sole purpose of publishing the book. Sales were slow to begin with. Then, last year they went on the Dragon's Den show where they secured an investment. Sales took off.

Panzer says, "Sounds like Dragon's Den is better than Kickstarter."
