Mr. Cornwell, I had the pleasure of attending the Surrey International Writers’ Conference this past weekend (where you kindly autographed a book for my husband), and I wanted to reiterate how much I enjoyed your sessions and your keynote address. I am tempted to get a T-shirt made that simply reads, “Member of the 18th Category”. What a great conversation-starter that would be. The conference came at a great time for me since I recently signed a contract for my first YA novel, something I’m certain helped my agent pitch. Pitches and blue pencil sessions aside, the amazing amount of information you (and all the presenters) shared so freely made it a fantastic and worthwhile event. Thanks again. Sincerely, Karen Bass
