Fascinating list of publishers, editors, agents -- not because of the conference, but a good list to study and use for research. I don't want to assume too much, but if these people are traveling to a writers' conference, then chances are good they want to meet promising authors for publication, yes? It's interesting to see who is out there, recruiting. Thank you, Jeanne.
You're welcome!
