 One Woman’s Path to Publishing began at Meet-the-Agents 2009: Mary Jo McConahay’s Maya Roads: Travels Through Time and Space in the American Rainforest will be
published by Chicago Review Press, Spring 2011. She met her agent, Andy Ross, at our sold-out
MTA
event last year, so sign up now to assure your place.
“Last March I joined a hundred other men and women from the WNBA San Francisco Chapter at Sinbad’s Restaurant for
its annual Meet the Agents event. From the windows, views of the Bay were the blue of dreams, and expansive
enough to calm the most nervous. I won’t say I wasn’t a little jittery as I looked around the room, at the
agents waiting. The hours were so
learning-intensive and fun, and
I called an agent I met, to whom I felt connected, and within a few days we were literary representative and
client… some six months later, I signed the publisher’s contract.”
