Books & Such Literary Agency Retreat
May 7-10, 2023
I attended a fabulous retreat in Savannah, Georgia, with the Books & Such Literary Agency. My wonderful agent, Rachel Kent, works with this agency. We enjoyed inspiring speakers, open table discussions, and time for fellowship, meals, and devotions. I felt invigorated to be with other writers in-person, which reminded me how much I have missed these interactions during the pandemic. This was my first retreat with Books & Such, and I will look forward to the next one in a few years!
