Speaking of Public Speaking

I'm teaming up with my agent, Ann Collette of the Rees Literary Agency, and conducting a breakout session on the author/agent relationship at the 2012 Missouri Writers Guild conference which will be held in St. Louis on April 20-22.  I'm pretty sure I'll be sitting there quietly while Ann is besieged with questions about how to get an agent, but it should be fun anyway.  Since Ann lives in Boston, we'll be meeting face-to-face for the first time.  She's a terrific lady with a wicked sense of humor and I have no doubt I'll be laughing a lot that weekend.  Here's what we'll be discussing.
