My Adventures in Edmonton, Canada—at the Writing in 3D Conference

This past weekend, I got the exciting chance to speak in Edmonton, Canada at the Words in 3D Conference. The event -- which had a turnout of more than 300 attendees (wow!) -- was organized by the Get Publishing Communications Society, the Writers' Guild of Alberta, and the Editors’ Association of Canada (Prairie Provinces Branch). The conference was wonderful and I got to meet a lot of great people. It was an unusual and unique chance to get so far north to teach (it got dark there at 10:20 p.m.), and I would recommend the event to any in Alberta or nearby in future years.

I got to speak on getting a literary agent, getting magazine articles published, and more. The conference gave me a chance to teach, sign books, and also informally chat with writers about whatever was on their mind. Pretty nice.

This is a good shot at the whole crowd. Because the Words in 3D Conference covered so many topics, the turnout was massive -- 300 people at least.
