You’re very welcome 😊

Thank you, Vincent. That was very kind of you to say.

Writers often ask if events are worth it. It’s often inferred they’re a money grab. Someone asked me why I do events if agents never sign anybody. Not an informed comment, but their perception. Jen is proof that writers do get signed, as do writers sending blind queries.

The above meant to say compatibility, not comparability.

MA is more for making sure you’re ready to pitch or query, more so than to sign up to “pitch”. They do however do the occasional pitch event here on Bluesky.

Not implying anything beyond an “edge” being the opportunity to meet and speak with each other. It’s good to see if there’s comparability.

Look into WDW. They have a lot of on line pitches as well as in person. I’ve met with people from all over. I’m sure there are other good ones.

Most people paint (legit) events as a money grab. Slush piles work too. I feel like an event might give you a bit more of an edge sometimes.

But I’ve signed authors this year from both places.

I'm with you Mike. I had no idea you had to pay on Twitter/X now.

Super excited for the journey ahead, Kaitlin :)
