    MONTHLY SPEAKER MEETING:


    March 18, 2010

    Chinook Middle School Auditorium/Library @ 7:00 P.M.

    (2001 98th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004)


    Topic: You've heard of agents, editors, and publishers, but have you heard of book doctors?  Do you know what a book doctor does?  Do you know how a book doctor can help you with your writing goals?  If you answered "no" to any of those questions, or if you just want to know what the greatest typo of all time is, come hear local book doctor Jason Black present the answers at this month's PNWA meeting.


    Speaker: Jason Black, Book Doctor


    2010 CONFERENCE
    : JULY 22 - 25
    SEATTLE AIRPORT HILTON & CONFERENCE CENTER


    The first 200 attendees to register will receive ONE of the following additional agent options:

    • The FIRST 100 people to register have the option of either: one Speed Pitching session (wherein they pitch to four agents) OR receive two (2) Ten Minute One-On-One appointments.
    • If neither option is indicated on a registrant’s form, he or she will be given two (2) One-On-One appointments.
    • If an eligible registrant requests speed pitching and their genre’s block of speed pitching agents is full, they will instead receive two (2) One-On-One agent appointments.
    • The following 100 registrants to enter will have the opportunity to obtain two (2) Ten Minute One-On-One appointments. (This has been expanded from the original limit of 50 people).
    • All other registrants will be guaranteed one agent appointment as available. 


    SPEED PITCHING SESSION
    (Four Agents): Meet with four agents within a one 10 minute period. You will be given 2 minutes to pitch with each agent. Please note we will coordinate your Speed Pitching slot (agent selections included) to best suit your writing genre.

    TWO AGENT APPOINTMENTS
    : Receive two one-on-one 10 minute agent appointments.

     

    PLEASE NOTE:

    • SPEED PITCHING ASSIGNMENTS ARE FINAL. This is an unfortunate inflexibility necessary to make the sessions run smoothly and eliminate scheduling problems for the time-sensitive events.
    • All attendees will have an opportunity to sign up for Speed Pitching at the conference on a first come, first serve basis.
    • All attendees will have the opportunity to change or obtain more One-On-One appointments on a first come, first serve basis.
    • Speed Pitching and One-On-One appointments are separate entities and will not be treated as interchangeable during the conference.
