Join us Saturday, June 9, 2018 – 10:30a, at ArlingtonCommunity Church, 1715 W. Randol Mill Rd, Arlington, as we welcome
multi-published author, Lena Nelson Dooley presenting “Agents and Editors, Who
Needs Them?”
With an abundance of books and multiple series
written, Dooley is quite familiar with the ins and outs of working with agents
and editors. Come and listen to her advice on how (and when) to work with them.
Her books, series, and collection additions are too
numerous to mention each of them, but a few reader favorites include: the McKenna’s
Daughters series, Love Finds You in Golden, New Mexico, and her many Christmas
tales. Additionally, the awards she’s earned are many, including: spots on the Evangelical
Christian Publisher’s Association (ECPA) and the Christian Booksellers
Association (CBA) Bestseller lists, two Will Rogers
Medallion Awards, two Selah Awards, and two Reader’s Choice awards—among
others.
Further experience
working with industry professionals has come through being represented by Joyce
Hart of Hartline Literary Agency, as well as screenwriting, acting, directing,
and voice-overs. She is on the Board of Directors for Higher Ground Films and
is one of the screenwriters for their upcoming film Abducted to Kill. She has been featured in articles in Christian Retailing, ACFW Journal, Charisma
Magazine, and Christian Fiction Online Magazine.
In addition to her writing, Dooley is a
frequent speaker at women’s organizations, writer’s groups, as well as regional
and national conferences. All this is in addition to hosting “The Lena Nelson Dooley
Show” on the Along Came a Writer blog
radio network and leading her own writer’s critique group.
Her interests vary from, visiting with readers,
writers, and other authors; reading for her own pleasure, yarn works, travel,
spending time with her husband James and their family, and enjoying a wide and
eclectic taste in music. Oh, and chocolate!
