Funny, too, I guess."<br /><br />I feel very, very, very fortunate to have snagged him as an agent. He had my novel on submission within a week of signing our agreement, and he's been super encouraging and enthusiastic since. I just wish I could meet him in person! I'm jealous of all of you who were at the conference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-70587556435896149292010-07-19T22:35:06.975-04:002010-07-19T22:35:06.975-04:00Stephen Fraser sounds like a sweetheart!

I agree that Stephen Fraser was a highlight, and I'm pleased he made himself so accessible to the attendees over the course of the two days.<br /><br />I'll look forward to reading your posts over the next few weeks.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Edie HemingwayEdie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496477219035860857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-56874952373934115622010-07-19T16:03:06.015-04:002010-07-19T16:03:06.015-04:00Thanks for your comments, everyone!

I, for one, am grateful. (Since I didn't get to go.) <br /><br />Stephen Fraser sounds amazing, doesn't he? And Jennifer DeChiara (@4writers) is on Twitter this week answering questions. Don't forget to watch that in progress.<br /><br />MartinaMartina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-20984734193302953162010-07-19T15:52:08.061-04:002010-07-19T15:52:08.061-04:00Lisa, absolutely.

I took copious notes during his presentation because he had so much to say.<br /><br />Jemi and Laura, he truly is amazing. I hope you get to meet him someday.<br /><br />Thanks, Tahereh! We're happy to spread good information. :)<br /><br />Natalie, we're thankful for your feedback. Sometimes there's so much to digest that it can be overwhelming coming out of a conference.<br /><br />Saumya, I'm so glad you agree! It seriously has to be impossible to NOT like him :)<br /><br />Traci, you'll probably hear back pretty quickly. On QT, his response times seemed very fast. Good luck!<br /><br />T. Anne and Candyland, I hope you get to attend a conference soon. They're SO worthwhile.<br /><br />Thanks, Mary!
