This year, there will be a new workshop for writers with a book-length manuscript that is complete or near completion: Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway will offer a query writing workshop limited to no more than 12 participants, who may sign up for the workshop when they register for the conference. There will be no additional fee for the workshop, but it will be filled on a first come/first serve basis.
Jane and Caitlen state: “We have found that many people work diligently on the manuscript only to stall out on the query, and we have found no suitable models online for what a selling query should look like – and it’s the query that is going to persuade them to read your submission.”

Who they are: Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway are mother and daughter, co-authors of Lady Vernon and Her Daughter, from Crown, a novel-length adaptation of Jane Austen’s early work Lady Susan. They have also co-authored the short story, “What Would James Do?” for the upcoming anthology Jane Austen Made Me Do It to be released in the fall of 2011, from Ballantine.

Separately Jane, who lives in Ocean City, has authored a series of mysteries set at the South Jersey shore, a volume of Sherlockian novellas, and a few short screenplays; Caitlen lives in NYC and is with Lauren Galit Literary acquiring non-fiction titles in parenting, fashion, memoir and narrative as well as selected childrens’, middle grade and young adult fiction. Caitlen will have her first solo title, a middle-grade fantasy, released from Bloomsbury Childrens in early 2012.
