Hey guys,

I was strolling around the internet when I stumbled across this site. Lately my friends and relatives are getting sick of my constant ramblings about books and writing. It would be nice to chat with people that are equally passionate. I have an all consuming passion for writing, starting from the moment I could pick up a pencil. I only have one short story published (in an upcoming ebook). I've written a 100k urban fantasy. The manuscript is finished, polished and ready to go. I'm going to a conference in October where I get to pitch this, and I'm SO nervous.
Looking forward to getting advice from those more seasoned then I.
Cheers.

Popcorn's in the back.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hi Erin. I had no idea there were places to go to pitch novels. Is this in the UK? Sounds great. Good luck!

Thanks guys! Maria, it's a Writer's conference, and it's in surrey (Vancouver, BC, Canada). You get to sign up for a "Pitch session" with an agent.
