NETWORKING IN ADVANCE WITH OTHER WRITERS IN YOUR GENRE (YOUR OPTION)
Unicorn Writers’ Conference gives you the opportunity to multiply your feedback by tapping into an entire network of fellow writers and readers. The main purpose of “Advance Networking” is to give you the chance to share approximately 40 pages of your manuscript with other guests in your genre to obtain helpful feedback and comments for improving your book(s) before the conference. These contacts will enable you to assist one another in building an all-important mailing list and cross-marketing on each other’s websites and blogs. We hope that lasting friendships will be made and that writers will come together to help one another.
To sign up for Advance Networking at no extra cost, e-mail your manuscript to advancenetworkingunicorn@gmail.com with “Advance Networking” and your genre in the subject line (if you do not wish to share your personal e-mail address with other writers at the conference, we advise setting up a new free e-mail account at Gmail). Unicorn Writers’ Conference will link you to other writers in your genre and vice-versa. We recommend that you read and review ten pages to start and exchange comments on each other’s books. Brutal honesty is vital here since you want your final manuscript to be well written and fully edited before you meet an Editor or Literary Agent. We advise you to make arrangements to meet your advance networking partners on the day of the conference.
Unicorn Writers’ Conference strongly recommends that you copyright your manuscript before submitting it for Advance Networking. For more information on how to copyright your manuscript, go to www.copyright.gov and follow the instructions on copyrights. Do not worry if you do not have your final version. The cost is $35 if you register electronically with the U.S. Copyright Office, or $65 if you print out the form and mail in your manuscript.
