Agent
For nearly 30 years Cricket’s banked on words to bring
home the bacon – primarily as a writer, but also a book editor, writing
instructor, freelancer, magazine editor, book designer, publicist, and
agent. This year Cricket and her agency partner, Jeffery McGraw, are
especially seeking narrative nonfiction, business, history, creative
nonfiction, pop culture, high-concept nonfiction, and highly-promotable memoir.
Not what you’re writing? Let her broad experience help you convert
your vision to paper: how to shape it, describe it, and present it in its best
light. Get an intensive, personalized workshop in minutes!

You’ve finished your novel. What do you do now? And who do you turn to for help along the way? This expert group will steer you in the right direction to take your manuscript from finished to sold.
Time: Sunday 11:00am
Here’s your last chance to get your writing, formatting and submission questions answered – agents, editors and publishers give you the inside scoop on how to get your query to the top of the pile.
Time: Saturday 3:30pm
How’s your pitch? Bring in the first 2-3 pages of your manuscript to this panel of agents and find out what the experts really think when they see your work, and if they can separate a published opening from the slush. All selections are read anonymously.
