MEGA BOOK MARKETING UNIVERSITY

I was privileged to be invited again this year by my friend Rick Frishman to Mark Victor Hansen's MEGA BOOK MARKETING UNIVERSITY at the LAX Westin Hotel. I served on the Story Panel, was introduced by MVH to say a few words to the VIP luncheon, and listened to one on one pitches from prospective writers who want to tell their stories to the world. For the third year in a row, I came away with at least 3 very commercial stories that deserve being sold and told to the world--one novel, one young adult novel, and one nonfiction book. More than anything I--and the others who attended--came away with a sense of energy and re-determination for being able to take part in a story marketplace where the world's desire for stories results in careers being made before our eyes. I'm already looking forward to the next one, where story merchants like myself get a chance to assist writers-en route-to-their-audiences with advice and an attentive ear.
