"Building a Book"
Monthly Programs

7:30 PM Third Thursdays, January through November
WLT Office / Free!

At the Writers' League, 2009 is the year for "Building a Book," a series of monthly programs in which authors, editors, agents, and other publishing professionals will explore how a book evolves from inspiration through the publishing process and beyond. Each program builds on the previous topic, providing an insightful, insider's overview of the publishing process.

"Build a Book" is perfect for anyone who has ever thought about writing a book or who wants an insider's look at how a book comes together - or even just an avid reader who loves books!

The Mating Game: How to Land an Agent

Location: Writers' League of Texas Office, 611 S. Congress Ave, Suite 130, Austin

The burning question among all writers seems to be "How do I get an agent?" This program, with featured speaker James C. Moore, will give you some insights into how to go about identifying, contacting, and meeting agents, along with ideas on queries, proposals, and manuscript preparation.

James C. Moore is an Emmy Award-winning TV news correspondent with more than a quarter century of print and broadcast experience. He has traveled extensively on every presidential campaign since 1976. His reports have appeared on CNN, NBC, and CBS. His professional honors include an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television News Director's Association, and the Individual Broadcast Achievement Award from the Texas Headliners' Foundation. Jim is the author of Bush's War for Reelection: Iraq, the White House, and the People. He and journalist Wayne Slater wrote three books on Karl Rove: The Architect, Rove Exposed, and Bush's Brain.

Before the program, join us at Doc's Motorworks Bar & Grill, 1123 S. Congress (two blocks south of the WLT office) for a "Mix and Mingle Happy Hour."
