I was also really impressed with Brett Duquette's session (I had to scroll back to your post to make sure I spelled his name right!). Can't overemphasize the importance of networking with other writers as well as faculty. I cashed in on all the networking I'd done at previous conferences last weekend: I wanted to go to Brett's Voice session which conflicted with the First Pages YA/middle grade segment to which I had submitted a page, so I found a conference friend who took notes on Lin Oliver's and Andrea Thompson's comments for me.NATASHA YIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293576071916842414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-23782000936761368682012-04-27T13:59:20.091-07:002012-04-27T13:59:20.091-07:00I loved meeting you Amy!
