The 5th AnnualConnecticut Authors & Publishers University
a Great Success!
Keynote speaker Wally Lamb charmed the crowd with his tales of growing up in Eastern Connecticut. It was easy to see why his books have been so successful.
The Agents were wonderful giving advice that was sometimes funny, sometimes tough but always valuable. Those who got a chance to meet one-on-one with them learned from the best.
