You've probably already heard me rave about this event, but I love it. I'm a little biased. My business partner, Holly, and I met there nearly ten years ago. We were newbie authors with no idea what to do with ourselves or our freshly printed manuscripts. We've come a long way since then. Not only have we had our own successes at being authors, but we've created a company that helps benefit other writers. In an industry that is so negative and...well, soul-crushing...when it comes to agent rejections, publisher rejections, editorial critique, beta readers pointing out all the flaws in our work, it's nice to be a part of something that uplifts, encourages, and enables authors to get their books out into the world.
I'm excited to say that our tiny acorn of a company is growing into a mighty oak. Before the conference we were already starting to see a steady number of submissions and inquiries. Since the conference, things have been a little...explosive. We are so excited to work with all the authors we met and fell in love with at the conference! And to think, it's only FEBRUARY! 2018 is shaping up to be a great year for Acorn Publishing. Onward and upward!! Write on people.
