You talked me into it. I'm going to that convention (and that means a lot from a girl who still needs to fix her brakes and transmission--actually my brother took care of the brakes this weekend--sorta--he made me stand out in the cold doing absolutely nothing while every guy in the neighborhood had to wander over and inform me that I had the most obsolete brakes in the history of man--cool! He kind of jimmyrigged it, so we'll see if it lasts.)
Anyhoo, (hey, I used a space between my paragraphs, so this would be easier to read...I'm learning), I totally know what you mean by being willing to throw yourself out there and talk about your book--that probably HAS to be the hardest part. I remember handing out fliers at the Wilk for my book. Man, those girls get catty. At least I will be going with a friend to this convention who knows a little bit how to do it. She'll be excited that I'm going!
So, that means I'll have to be majorly prepared in November (of course that's a while away BUT...), what did you guys (excuse my vernacular, this means the girls too--I'm so used to saying guys--I even call the kindergarteners that). Anyway, what did you all bring? Query letters? The first three chapters? Pictures? What was the most effective thing that you did? And I have more than one book, should I just choose one?--and then go from there?
Thanks, this is awesome advice!
