Best of all — Almost all literary genres, screen plays, and nonfiction books will be in demand, and writers will be able to pitch their projects to either an agent or an editor."

There's also a one-day conference February 16, 2007 for Mystery Writers and Fans. It's co-sponsored by SW Writers and Croak & Dragger - that's the Albuquerque Chapter of Sisters-In-Crime. There are some cool looking workshops. There will also be an opportunity to pitch your work. Any mystery writers here?
Here's a link to the Croak and Dagger website. SWW doesn't have it on their website yet.

I am and I wanted to join sisters in crime but I could only afford one so I joined RWA because for sheer volume I write more romantic suspense than I do series mysteries. But I would be interested depending on the cost. Thanks for sharing. Conferences are a great deal. Pitching live can get you places you've only dreamed about.

Aj, just off the top of my head I think the c&d conference is $105 or so dollars for SWW members. Aren't you a member?
I don't write mystery but I'm thinking about going just for the workshops. They look interesting.

I'm not. It's a hundred and fifty a year for RWA and that's all I can afford.
