I'm so proud of our introverted son for pursuing interviews with publishers. It would have been easy to attend the conference and not pursue interviews. LOL He met with "someone" this a.m. who told him that there isn't much of a market for Christian Fantasy. The man WAS very interested in the new book that Jamin is also pitching.
He met with AMG publishers. THEY say they see a growing market for Christian Fantasy. Their last fantasy writer sold so many books that Zondervan stole him away from them. They are interested in The King of the Reid and want Jamin to send it to them so their fantasy editor can take a gander at it. Jamin had given them a synopsis and the first 3 chapters. They are also interested in hearing more about the new book concept he has.
He meets with a representative from Bethany Publishing House tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. CO time. We'll keep praying for God's will and timing in all of this.
I asked him if he was having fun. I asked him how he was doing and he told me, "Mom, I need to get back to the hotel to work out!" ::snort:: I think he's feeling a bit of stress and a tad bit overwhelmed.

This is SO exciting, praying for Jamin here!
Very exciting! Glad he's finding it somewhat fun and exciting too rather than overwhelming. I'm thinking this conference is not just for young people and there are adults attending too. Sounds lik Jamin is doing great!
Oh this is exciting! Please keep us updated. I can't wait to hear more. That's wonderful that he's gone outside his comfort area and reached for his dream. How inspiring!
Yes, Jodi, the conference is NOT a youth conference..it targets all Christian authors/aspiring authors...and is predominately adults.
To borrow my dd's expression, "Wowie Zowie!" Isn't God great! Totally excited for the growth the Lord is giving Jamin! Continuing prayer.
WAY TO GO! That's SO EXCITING!
