Elif Shafak
Here’s a new TED talk by novelist Elif Shafak, brought to my attention by my architect friend around the corner, Ron Yeo. I like what she talks about, fiction connecting people, circles doing magic, and in fiction, writing not what you know but what you feel. Enjoy.
An Evening with Literary Agents Sally Van Haitsma, Jamie Weiss Chilton and Jill Marr
It may have been a bit steamy in the lobby where we set up the chairs for 80+ mostly writers, but the consensus is that it was an informative night. Our agents in attendance responded off the cuff to first pages and agent queries submitted by attendees, and I think most would agree that even if they weren’t talking about your work, there was much to learn by how they did respond to the work in question.
Perhaps some of you who were there who are reading this will talk about what you got out of it?
