Every year, I'm a
Writing for Kids and Teens panelist, and on the
Speed-Dating with the Agents & Editors team at the amazing
Push to Publish event, sponsored by
Philadelphia Stories. It's located at Rosemont College, 1400 Montgomery Avenue, in Rosemont, PA. This is a great place to mix informally with writers, social media experts and freelance editors to talk shop. Authors like the fabulous
Gregory Frost and
Beth Kephart make regular appearances, as well as the talented indie author,
Alison DeLuca, and of course, yours truly,
MOI! Oh, and check out
Marie Lamba, an agent with the De Chiara agency who's running an intensive workshop this year.
Do you need advice on your work in progress?
Want a seasoned manuscript advisor to edit your WIP?
Um... that would be me!
So, if you are anywhere near the Philly/Rosemont/Bryn Mawr area on
OCTOBER 12th,
from 9 am to 5 pm join us for this great event.

More news... I recently announced that I've joined a great group of authors who write speculative fiction. We're called
Untethered Realms. M Pax, and some others are organizing a
Realms Faire, with TONS of fun ACTIVITIES and PRIZES. Mark your calendars! It's
November 11 through 15th. For a jumpstart on all of the games and sign up sheets,

Oh, and check out our newly launched, and more established novels--everything from horror to YA sci-fi to space opera.
One last but very cool thing, it's official,
I'm an MFA thesis advisor! That's right, I am the thesis advisor for all writers taking on YA and NA projects at Rosemont College. Rosemont has an excellent
MFA in Creative Writing program!
Yay, Rosemont, and yay me! I
love working with students and aspiring authors, and this will be an exciting venture.
What thrilling events do you have lined up for the fall?
Book launches, conventions, panels, classes?

ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be a thesis advisor, Cat. That is a big deal!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy, but super fun fall!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are one busy young lady. Congratulations on being an advisor. Sounds fantastic. The Event also sounds great. Wish I were closer. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMy fall is not nearly as exciting, but I am touring (online) my tween paranormal pirate story. Have some great blogs lined up to visit. I'm also hosting a couple of other authors on their tours. Having fun with it.
Awesome, Catherine. Congrats are in order. My fall goal is to finish my YA sci-fi novel.
ReplyDeleteBev, have fun with the blog tour; Sherry, good luck on completing the scifi.
ReplyDeleteWow! It sounds like you have a lot of fun work coming up this fall. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch good news! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe event sounds great, wish I could come but I live too far. Congrats on the new position! Doing what you love for your day job is like eating chocolate cake (or insert your obsessive food item) everyday and never gaining any weight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on becoming a thesis advisor! I hope it's as rewarding as it sounds. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait for the Faire. You know, my teleportation device isn't quite finished yet, or I'd have to join you the 12th. SO, once I finish my time machine...
ReplyDeleteHa, Crystal, yes, I want one of those newfangled things too. Misha, thanks, I know I'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, so much excitement going on! Am thinking of doing Push to Pub again and your panel is perfect for me. Congrats on the new MFA role and new blogging gig - I just subscribed over there.
ReplyDeleteYay, Donna, it'll be fun to see you again!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a lot going on. Congrats on your new role at the college. Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to the Faire! It will be such fun. :)
