Backspace hasn't offered formal pitch sessions for our last four conferences.
Here's why.
I suspect we're in the minority in this (though I'm not the only one who thinks we're in the right - check out this recent
The Writers Edge blog post).
I'm curious to know what others think, particularly about the "pitch/slam" format that many conferences offer. Love pitch sessions? Hate 'em? Willing to endure them in order to get face-time with an agent?
Thanks!
