From DONNA HATCH: A couple of years ago, I decided to search for an agent and take my career as an author up to the next level by publishing with a New York press. I suffered through many failed attempts. But last year, at Time Out for Writers Conference, I determined to try again. After doing some research, I decided that the agent I wanted was Jane Dystel of Dystel & Goderich Literary Agency in New York. Jane and I discussed my work and my goals, and she requested that I send her my newest manuscript. A few days later, I got "the call!" Yes, it's as wonderful as you've always heard :-) And yes I celebrated with dinner and lots of chocolate. My dreams of finding a New York agent were realized at Time Out for Writers. What are your dreams?
