Sela C asked:


What do you think are the pros and cons of conferences and conventions for writers?

Which ones have you attended?

Did you learn anything or was it primarily for networking?

What was your most valuable experience at a conference? Or was it a complete waste of time?

I’ve been to RWA three times and hope to attend my first comic con this fall. I’m not sure what to expect from the comic con, though. Mostly, I’m going to look around and have fun. No professional aspirations for that one.

Joe asked:


I heard on Yahoo! Answers that there are these things called writing/pitch conferences for writers to pitch their work — I was wondering if there were any good ones in New York — for novelists and/or screenwriters would be great!
