There are many others who frequent absolute write that can point out the error of your thinking ...
My pitch was skewered. I was told it wasn't publishable and I needed a new idea asap. Then they moved on to the next person. No help given to fix. no ideas tossed around, nothing. I wasn't the only one, either.
Thank you. I can hardly wait to learn the "error of my thinking." That's odd. I suppose I was and am delusional regarding the beneficial effect the conference had on my work. I recommend reviewing the NYC Pitch and Shop thread. There are a number of people published as a result of the conference who disagree with you and who were not taught the "error of their thinking." As a matter of fact, you are the only one I know of on AW who actually attended the conference and came out negative. I might be incorrect. Therefore, it only makes sense that those who will soon arrive to teach me the "error of my thinking" have never attended the event.
But that's your opinion. No one here is going to teach me the "error" since I know it doesn't exist. I'm not in error. You're not a mind reader, and my experience was valid, just like the experience of Audrey, and many others.
And again, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. What you say here in no way reflects my experience, really, not in the least.
Good luck with your novel too. I'm sorry if I offended you.
