Friday Update: 2 Free Events & more

First, I'm thrilled to announce that THE OTHER LIFE is a nominee for this Best of Women's Fiction poll. Feel free to click in and rate your favorites!

I'm also happy to announce that my superstar agents have sold Romanian right to THE OTHER LIFE!

And now, two great events coming up for Long Island area writers:

• Pitchapalooza! 
Saturday, 12/ 3, 2 pm
BOOK REVUE, Huntington
Here's chance to pitch your book to a panel of publishing experts, including book doctors Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, as well as yours truly. Even if you don't want to pitch, come and watch, because it's very informative ... and a blast!

• Hofstra Writer's Salon
Monday, 12/5, 7 pm
Hofstra University, Brower Hall, Room 101
I'm thrilled and honored to be speaking at Hofstra about navigating the road to publication. This is also the official kick-off event for the paperback release of THE OTHER LIFE. (If you plan to attend, please try to RSVP, as they're trying to get an idea of how many are coming, and there could be a last minute room change. RSVP to ce-writing@hofstra.edu or call 516-463-7200.)

In other news, two bloggers are giving away copies of THE OTHER LIFE. Check it out:

• So Many Precious Books, So Little Time

Have a great weekend. Hope to see you soon ...
