ReplyDeleteThis has really been a wonderful CWG conference--I am sorry you could not attend. Jerry Webster says Hello! I told him that you and he should do a panel next year about your reverse experiences re: publishing books yourself to finding a publisher!
The conference won't be in Valley Forge next year because the Trade Show needs to find a new home (a casino is going to be built here!)
Tell Jerry that I think it is a great idea, too, and that I want a copy of his new book to review!
