Friday, May 2nd, from 9 am to 11 am at
Denny’s Restaurant, 8841 Greenback Lane, Orangevale, CA, 95662
Denny’s has a nice private room where we can close the doors and keep the noise to ourselves.

Discover the pros and cons of various strategies for finding a literary agent and publisher.

What attendees will learn from Chris’s presentation:

• You will be prepared to connect with agents at Writers Conferences and on QueryTracker
• Know You and Your Stuff—manuscript, elevator pitch, one page, you’re extended pitch, etc.
• Chris’s potent PowerPoint includes clips from his award-winning films, social media posts viewed by tens of thousands, a query, and a book proposal.
• See Chris shoot a short/simple promotional video, ad-libbed, with his iPhone 12 and an audience volunteer.
• You will learn the basics of creating your video speaking reel, getting speaking gigs, building your email list, and getting your name out there.
