NOTE: Seriously, this is great if you write children's literature. Where else will you connect with this many agents? Especially of this caliber. Makes me wish I wrote kidlit.
 
DOUBLE NOTE: Finally launched the Annual FFW Contest and thought I could prop my feet up and work on the novel. Entries are coming in already! The theme must be a good one to attract people so soon. See more at www.fundsforwriters.com/annualcontest.htm

Thanks for the shout out about WriteOnCon! And anyone can register and "attend" the conference. ANYONE. I blogged about this a week or so ago, but yeah, anyone can come sign up! It's going to be beneficial for all writers.
