Question — one of my writing students has an adult romantic fantasy (romantasy?) that she’s finished and is ready to start pitching. She did some research, but so far, the kinds of conferences she’s found for pitching seem pretty scammy to me — not just a registration charge, but a $30 / pitch fee, too.
What’s the current recommendation for this kind of thing? Should she just send things in over-the-transom after doing her research, or are there actually conferences that are worth attending for meeting agents and pitching to them.
I did already tell her about World Fantasy as a general business networking thing.
