Read attendees' accounts of previous Backspace programs:
"Backspace has it figured out. I would never have gotten past my first query letter had I not sat in front of agents who told me it was awful. The conference set me on my feet with a map. I will stand up in front of an agent any day, hands trembling, as opposed to sitting in front of my computer with a bad query letter at the ready. The access, the support and the guidance is immeasurable." -- Backspace Agent-Author Day attendee
