Laurie McLean wears many hats. She is the Director of the San Francisco Writers Conference, a literary agent and founder of Fuse Literary, and a former Silicon Valley marketing and PR professional. I asked her to talk about the February 2019 San Francisco Writers Conference and the return on investment for the money and the time author’s invest in this or any writers conference.

You’ll learn what makes the San Francisco Writers Conference different and how to get the most of it…how to organize your time between the sessions, exhibitors, bestselling authors, editors, and agents…getting to know some of the 500 other participants…not to mention the opportunities for deeper learning in the pre- and post-conference Master Classes.

There are over 100 presenters in the various tracks: Fiction, Nonfiction, YA and Children’s, Self-Publishing and Technology (Carla King’s track), Business and Marketing, and an Etc. track that includes sessions on audiobooks and books-to-screen to name just a couple.

I hope you enjoy this discussion and that it encourages you to attend a conference here or wherever you are. Listen and find out why.
