Free event in NYC with Janet Reid and Donald Maass
At the end of this month, Jenny Milchman and I have the privilege of appearing with agents Janet Reid and Donald Maass at an NYC Barnes and Noble. Details below. Mods, feel free to move this to Announcements if you prefer. We thought it could be a good fit for "Ask the Agent" because of, well, the agents ;-) Those members interested in "asking an agent" may well be particularly interested in this opportunity.

Writing a Novel With Blockbuster Potential
Wednesday January 30, 2013 7:00 PM
Barnes and Noble
86th & Lexington Ave
150 East 86th Street, New York, NY 10028,*212-369-2180

Is your new year's resolution to finish your novel, or to start one? Join literary agents Janet Reid ("Query Shark") and Donald Maass ("Writing the Breakout Novel"), in discussion with authors Jenny Milchman ("Cover of Snow") and Emily Winslow ("The Start of Everything") for advice, inspiration, and solid ideas for making this your year.

If you're drinking beer with me, you'll need BOTH of those kidneys.
