She’s thrilled when she’s accepted at the Clymer Workshop. She arrives hoping to make a connection that will help her get a literary agent.But the conference isn’t anything like what she had expected. The atmosphere is intense. Male writers on the staff are more interested in having sex with her than in her manuscript.The schedule is filled with creative writing workshops and manuscript conferences, and visits by agents and editors. But the real lessons Laura learns aren’t on the schedule.When she receives an offer that comes with a price, she discovers how power works in the publishing world.I enjoyed every minute that I spent reading this excellent novel, and I was pleased to read so many reviews from writers who confirm that the description of the conference is quite accurate.” A.
