See You In September

We unpublished (or as some of us prefer to be called: prepublished) book authors have a lot of strikes against us.

We struggle stringing words together in obscurity, up in those blasted unairconditioned garrets of ours, for upwards of decades. We know enough to avoid the cliche of wallpapering said garret with rejection slips, but in the cold winter months we may need to burn the considerable stack of them to produce even a shred of affordable warmth.

In addition, our self-esteem suffers regular and difficult blows. Egos deflate as critiques bleed profusely on our makeshift desks. Contest entries return to us with numbers too low to final, and we imagine evil laughter as the accompanying soundtrack.

“Bwwwaaaaa-haaaa-haaaa-haaaaa, you’ll NEVER make it in this business! Why don’t you just bow out now, while you still have an ounce of dignity?”

More and more, we notice in the writer’s guidelines of the publishers we’d like to write for, unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. In fact, these days, even unsolicited proposals (typically, a package describing your work in detail, plus the first three chapters) are summarily rejected.

Sure, they’ll consider taking a peek at your proposal if it’s submitted to them through your agent, but guess what? Many of them won’t look at your stuff, either, unless you’ve somehow managed to develop a connection with them.

So how the heck do you do that, you might ask? It’s like “We won’t hire you without experience, and yes, you are so right! You can’t get experience unless we hire you!”

There is an answer, and it’s a good one. Writers conferences.

I’d like to take this opportunity to plug the national writers group I’m a member of, the American Christian Fiction Writers. And for any of my readers who are also prospective authors—even if you’re only in the beginning stages of considering such an idea—I’d like to recommend the ACFW annual conference. This year it’s in Dallas, September 21-23. (When you go to the main page, click on conference in the column to the left.)

If you’ve ever wondered why writers conferences make a difference, I can sum it up in one word: relationships. At a conference, you’ll gain the opportunity to meet one-on-one and seven-on-one (at tables for eight over meals) with editors and agents. If you have an entire novel or just the beginnings of a story idea to talk to them about, they want to hear it! And often, they’ll invite you to submit your materials to them after the conference.

Besides this chance to gain access into the inboxes of editors and agents, you’ll meet some of the most fascinating people on the planet—writers. And I can practically guarantee you that you’ll become friends with many of them—that’s the kind of folks they are.

I am still a struggling wannabe, but it’s not for lack of fantastic encouragement and assistance from a number of wonderful writer friends I’ve made through ACFW. If you’d like to join us in September, check out the specs on the conference. Don’t be like me and wait till you’re…um…*not young* before going after your dream, if writing is something you plan to pursue.

There are so many fine people who stand ready to help you be the writer you’d love to be!

I know. Thanks to ACFW, a whole bunch of them are my friends.

Fallible Comments...

So true. And the sessions! Continuning education sessions, workshops, panels, late night chats--oh my! The opportunities to learn from those who've been in the industry long enough to know what they're talking about. And the worship services! Those are so worth attending conference for! I can't wait until September! Hope to see many new faces there!

My goodness, Katy, when I tooked at the title of your post I thought you were going Internet-less again! Uh-oh, no more Fallible till September...

I was about ready to wail when I read the contents of your post and realised you were talking about something entirely different. *grin*

But why do all those conferences have to be in North America? We starving writers in third-world countries can't afford to fly there, much less stay there! *pouts*
Posted by Sunflower on 06/20/07 at 08:53 AM
Those are some very good tips, Katy. Tell me, when you started your novel, did you know how the story was going to turn out? Just curious. I'm looking forward to getting together after the big wedding. This time I'll pay!
Posted by alison on 06/20/07 at 02:46 PM
Hi, Katy,

Glad you had a great time in Switzerland. Congratulations.

We're Leaving for Scotland tomorrow for two weeks. Thought of you.

Take care~
Posted by Margo Carmichael on 06/23/07 at 01:05 PM
Robin--Hey, welcome to fallible! Robin is the current president of ACFW, everybody. And a fine prez she is, too. :)

Sunflower--Heck, no. No more hiatuses for me, unless it's this next week while prepping for Carrie's wedding. YOU should organize Malaysian writers and have a conference. Why not YOU, hmmmm??? :)

alison--I had a vague idea of how the story would end, but I did not have much of an idea of how I'd arrive at the end. You've started writing a novel, haven't hou???

Margo--Oh, you happy girl!! Will you be going to a Carmichael clan event? So much fun for you! Have a fantastic time....
Posted by Katy on 06/23/07 at 01:57 PM
Yes, thank you, four days in and around Carmichael, then a tour of the islands and the Highlands. Can't wait to see the clan and the country again. Must run and start packing! Please pray for traveling mercies.

Hugs~
Posted by Margo Carmichael on 06/23/07 at 02:16 PM
Me, organise? I don't have the gift of organisation... I can't even organise myself!
Posted by Sunflower on 06/23/07 at 04:04 PM
My novel has quickly degenerated into a sleezy romance novel - the kind that I hate. I was trying to write something without a happy ending, because real life doesn't have happy endings. I don't know what happened, but it's totally in disrepair. Maybe I am not cut out for this. But then, again, I think it's better than most of the stuff I've read. Maybe you can take a peak later on and let me know.

A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.

As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible.
