This is a good time to start researching appropriate conferences in your area of interest, in your region and on your time schedule.

If you are an experienced author or freelance writer, you might get a gig presenting a segment at a writers\u2019 conference.<\/p>\n Do your homework and choose a conference that addresses your current needs. This might be book promotion or you might be ready for some fiction-writing workshops. Perhaps you are ready to start showing your manuscript around to agents. Study the conference agenda to make sure they offer what you require at the moment. <\/p>\n If you are marketing a nonfiction book, you should seek out speaking opps at conferences related to the theme of your book. Here are links to writers\u2019 conferences as well as conferences on all variety of topics\u2014technology, marketing, business management, arts, crafts, animals\/pets, relationships, travel and more.<\/p>\n http:\/\/shawguides.com<\/a> Why should you attend conferences? \u2022\tEducate yourself about the publishing industry. Attend conferences related to the topic of your book in order to:<\/p>\n \u2022\tLearn more about your field.
