Thanks for such a wonderful conference!
Thanks for all the work and time and effort you guys put into organizing and hosting this conference. It was a great experience, and we learned a lot, too. Superb!
Another Thank-You for hosting this event. This means a lot for those of us who cannot take time and/or money away from family to travel to a conference. Even though I don’t write YA (yet) this has been very informative, and I loved feeling like part of a group.
Pretty epic is an understatement! You guys rock. I hope you get a week of perfect sleep after this. You deserve it. I feel so grateful to have been involved in this historic event!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you guys did to put this conference on. It helped me so much, and it was just so FUN!
No it can’t be over. At least we can stalk the awesome WriteOnCon team in the blogosphere. Well, maybe stalk is too creepy. You ladies are the best. Thanks for the work and effort this took and for being so willing to help everyone remain calm in the face of 403, which should now be a curse word.
I am so glad i followed the link on query tracker. the info here is awesome.
Thank you girls. You rock!!!
Aw, FABULOUS. Thank you guys!! And all the participants and presenters!
Totally frawesome video!! I love how Shannon drink of choice progressed across the desk, to show the empty bottle of alcohol. Funny! I love Elana’s kids IM’ing her about dinner. (We can hear you in there.) lol And who doesn’t love Karsten dancing at the end. Fabulous. Thanks for a truly wonderful conference, packed with knowledge. Now go get some rest!

A special hats-off to all of you for putting this fabulous idea into action! It’s a great success and speaks to your hard work.
Thank you so much for hosting such a great event. The energy was fantastic – even if there was a little too much talk about hair
I can’t believe how beneficial this was. I thought it would be good, but it was great. Write On Con far exceeded my expectations in so many ways. It actually felt a little like magic. So many issues I was dealing with in my writing were perfectly addressed throughout the conference.
Thank you a million times over!
It was great and I’m just so sorry it’s over now. Thank you so much for being forth so much time and dedication into writeoncon and I think I speak for everyone when I say that it was really helpful and really fun. THANKS.
Happy writing
This was such a great experience. And I have learned more in these three days. (Well, ok, more then three days if you include the practice critiques) then I have in my entire 16 years of working towards being a published author.
Why didn’t anyone explain things this clearly before to me, or was i just not listening?
Anyway this was a great gift from both you Conference Organizers, and the Industry Pros.
Thank you so much. Looking forward to 2011. I will also be keeping my eye out for those “big announcements”.

You guys put together a fantabustupendous conference! I can’t believe how much useful content you packaged. And it was free! What an amazing service you’ve provided to so many aspiring writers. Thank you so much!
Too much fun! Hope you all got some sleep.
You guys rock! Thanks for all your hard work to pull this together. Great information that I can really take away. And I’m not a newbie!
P.S So is that really Justin??

Thank you all so much for your time and effort. All this goodwill and generosity is beautiful, and I know I’ll be trolling these archives for quite some time. Dude, you guys!!!! You done good!
Thank you to all of you gals who put this smashing show together! It was GRRRREAT! Of course, a special thanks goes out to all of the publishing professionals who participated. Even though the conference was focused on middle grade and young adult writing, I was able to glean lots of useful information that I can use as a wannabe writer of picture books/early readers. I “attended” nearly all of the presentations. I’m already looking forward to next year!
Thank you so much! It’s been wonderful.
Awesomesauce! Thank you again!
Elana: “Oh, it’s just the kids…” I’m not a lol kind of girl, but I just did. More like SOL (not “Stuck Outona Limb” ; ) – “Snort” Out Loud).
Gobs of Gratitude Gravy to ALL you Organistas. I hear it goes well with awesomesauce.
LOL! You guys are amazing! Working your patooties off to make this happen and still have energy to make us laugh. It was awesome and FULL of great stuff to take to our writing. Now… go get some rest!
I hope you all miss this thanks because you’re sleeping, but in case you’re not THANK YOU!
We’re writers but there aren’t even enough words amongst us to express the gratitude of the 2000! You guys did such a completely amazing job. I stand in awe!
