2018 Agents & Editors Conference

3 days. More than 20 agents and editors. Bestselling and award-winning authors and publishing professionals. Nearly 300 writers across all genres. Countless panels, presentations, and networking opportunities.

Now in its 25th year, the Writers' League of Texas Agents & Editors Conference is one of the nation's premier conferences for writers, an invaluable opportunity for attendees to discover new tools to strengthen their writing (craft), gain insight and perspective on the ever-changing publishing landscape while connecting with some of the industry's top players (business), and meet and network with fellow writers (community).

Writers at every stage of their career can benefit from attending this conference. Beginners can learn about the sometimes mystifying publishing industry and prepare themselves for the journey ahead. Those with completed manuscripts can pitch to industry professionals and gain knowledge about self-promotion and marketing. Published authors can deepen their understanding of market trends and network with other rising stars in the world of writing.

What's more, the weekend's worth of programming -- complete with genre sessions, panels, presentations, evening receptions, and more -- takes place just steps away from the shore of beautiful Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin, Texas, a city like no other.

Network Austin Mixer May 2018 ~ Casting Director Panel, Part 2
May

Network Austin Mixer May 2018 ~ Casting Director Panel, Part 2

We enjoyed an excellent mixer last month with our first of two panels of casting directors this year, and now it’s time for our second on Wednesday, May 9th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!

These are important Mixers for one simple reason: to learn what it takes to get cast. After all, all actors are looking for paying work, and it is the job of casting directors to find the right talent for the job. In a nutshell, these hard-working professionals are the decision makers as to who gets invited to audition for roles. Actors need to know exactly what casting directors do, how they think, what they look for, what their responsibilities are, and what they expect from actors. We’ll be offering more of that information and addressing your questions and concerns at our next Mixer on Wednesday, May 9th. So brush up your résumé & dig up your headshot and mark your calendar for May 9th.

Casting Directors on May 9th:

☆ Sally Allen of Brock Allen Casting

☆ Donise L. Hardy, CSA of A Casting Place

The program will commence with an introduction from each casting director sharing with the audience about themselves, their experience, and their companies. Then the floor will open to the audience for a Q & A session which will last approximately a half hour.

Instructions for Headshots & Résumés: Actors are encouraged to bring 2 sets of headshots & résumés (1 for each casting company), with the headshot & résumé stapled back-to-back, for placement at a designated table upon arrival, preferably prior to the beginning of the program, so that they can have your submission package to review when they leave.
