To the poster who asked how "important" it is to go to conferences -- I sold my first two books before attending my first conference. And only once have I had a sale take place directly from interaction at a conference. We'd already decided that this house would be publishing that book -- we simply met briefly to hammer out certain details and make a handshake contract. I didn't find my agent at a conference and I've never met my other publisher (five books, working on three more). That'll change this week at RT.
