Conferences

We believe conferences are one of the best ways for writers to meet agents and editors and get feedback on their writing and book ideas. We attend and support a number of conferences each year and encourage aspiring and previously published authors to attend writers conferences to (a) gain professional opinions on their proposal(s), (b) learn to take critiques from various industry representatives, and (c) understand and work with the publishing industry rather than trying to guess or go around those who are making decisions about what’s getting published.

The following conferences are ones we recommend (a) because we know the staff of each and (b) believe they are among the best conferences for writers to mature and improve their writing and connect with publishing professionals who are in a position to help them.

I'm so grateful for Blythe and the wisdom and direction she provided when I was signing both my first and second book contracts. Not only is she knowledgeable and savvy in her field but she's also a great friend and values her client relationships. While it's true that Blythe is indeed my agent, I also count her as a friend who truly cares about the work we do.

Before I met Blythe at a writing conference I didn't really understand the value of an agent. Now I know. She encouraged me, pushed me, challenged me and helped me develop a proposal that was met with an offer! Thanks so much Blythe for helping to make my life-long dream a reality! I could not have done it without your help!

Blythe has an amazing eye for what is relevant and current. If she takes your project it is because she earnestly believes in your message. She is a capable and experienced agent that has a genuine love of the written word. Blythe has consistently been an active part of my writing process and a business partner that advocates for the success of my projects. Something most writers pray for. Thanks, BDA.
