Announcing the Muse & the Marketplace 2011

Dear Grubbies,

Information about our biggest event of the year, Muse and the Marketplace, is online now, and registration is underway!

The tenth annual Muse and the Marketplace conference takes place on April 30th and May 1st at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, and features ninety craft and publishing sessions with an amazing lineup of authors including Ann Hood, James Franco, Alice Hoffman, Elinor Lipman, Lynne Barrett, Jennifer Haigh, Daphne Kalotay, Erika Dreifus, Beth Raisner Glass, Jamie Cat Callan, Raffi Yessayan, Edith Pearlman, Katrin Schumann, Bruce Machart, Marie Myung-Ok Lee, Tess Gerritsen, Kelly Easton, Michelle Hoover, Dawn Tripp, Hallie Ephron, Ben H. Winters, Danielle Evans, Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, Askold Melnyczuk, Jenna Blum, Alexandra Johnson, Gary Braver, Sarah Smith, Chad Harbach, Pauline Chen and more.

The Manuscript Mart, always one of the most popular aspects of the conference, is a fantastic opportunity to get time one-on-one with one of the 35 talented editors and agents attending the conference. The Manuscript Mart sells out extremely quickly, so if you are interested in participating, we urge you to sign up soon!

This year, we're also excited to be offering two additional features: Cocktail Hour with the Francos on Saturday afternoon (yes, that's the same James Franco who will be hosting the Oscars this Sunday), and new smaller, more intimate 8-person Star Power Lunch Tables.

To view all details about the conference, go to www.museandthemarketplace.com.

See you at the Muse!

Your friends at Grub Street,
Eve, Chris, Whitney, Sonya and Chip
