Need to be gnawed?

Remember our plaintive wail from the comments column about following directions but still not getting bites?

Well, here's your chance to put actual pages in front of actual beady agent eyes.  The Backspace Conference is open for registration, and yes, I will be there to gnaw you till you beg for mercy. Medicinal whisky will be provided of course.

It's going to cost you some dough, and staying in NYC isn't cheap but this conference has a history of getting people published.

And yes, if you're terrified to do this, well, be brave.
