This was a very special conference for me. It was my first one as a 'published' writer. As a newbie you sit listening to the celebratio announcements on the Friday afternoon and dream of the day when your turn will come. Well mine had come and it was better than I ever dreamed. I stood and told of my wonderful year...an agent (and not just any agent but Carole Blake), a deal but not one - three! And not only did I get to say all this...my agent was there too!
In our flat just after the celebrations announcements Julie Cohen greeted me with a bottle of champagne saying - your first sale happens only once so must celebrate as much as possible. I like her thinking :-)

Congratulations - that was great news, well deserved and some lovely pics to go with it. Keep on writing!
Well done you!! And I agree it was a fab conference! I had an announcement too and wasn't there to hear it but at least half a dozen people told me about it! Looking forward to the next event!
And just think, we get to celebrate all over again when the book comes out! And the next one...and the next...
Wish I could have been there to celebrate with you! Ah well, next time...xxx
Aw, how lovely! I love how happy (or is that drunk? ;)) you all look. HUGE congrats Liz.
Congratulations - you had a lot to celebrate - and how wonderful after waiting, your turn has certainly arrived!
Congratulations again. And what a lovely time you must have had!
Lots more celebrations! Should take shares out in champagne.
Cally - that was sober happiness :))
I am having conference withdrawal symptoms big time...looking at the pictures now makes it worse....
