So there's a writers' conference in my area mid-February, and it sounds pretty amazing. It's also expensive.
I know a big advantage of going to a writers' conference is networking, meeting editors and agents, and having the chance to pitch your book.
I'm in the process of revising my book, and have planned to have revisions finished by mid-February. I was going to send it through my beta readers then and do another round of revisions when I got the feedback.
Would it be jumping the gun to go and pitch my book? I'm wondering if it would be a better idea to just wait a year and go in 2013. I'll have three manuscripts finished and polished by then.
Anyone gone to one of these? What would you suggest?
