			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are trying to become a published author but you don&#8217;t want to self-publish, you know you either need an agent or can try to do it on your own directly with a publisher which is really hard.</p>
<p>You can do what most people do and submit your proposal to dozens of agents hoping that one will be interested and give you a contract.  That can take weeks, months, or even years.  My mom has been writing children&#8217;s stories since I was born.  Although the children&#8217;s market is a lot different than books for adults, it&#8217;s still really difficult to get published through a traditional publisher.  I know.  I&#8217;ve seen her send out dozens of manuscripts to agents and also publishers for her children&#8217;s stories.  Even though she has gotten lots of rejection letters as most people do, she still keeps writing and trying.</p>
<p>What if  you are writing a business book for adults?   How do you get published?  How do you find an agent?  There must be an easier way than submitting proposal after proposal and waiting month after month for some kind of response.   Guess what?  There is an easier way.</p>
<p>Attend a Mark Victor Hansen <a href="http://www.markvictorhansen.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">MEGA Book </span></a>event.  And you&#8217;re in luck.  There just happens to be one coming up on June 5-7 in Orlando right in the middle of DisneyWorld at the <a href="http://www.swandolphin.com/home.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Swan and Dolphin Resort</span></a>.  Not only will you be inspired by Mark but you will also hear other speakers with lots of helpful business information.  But the best thing is that there will be agents and other people from the publishing industry that you can meet in person.  </p>
<p>That&#8217;s how I found my agent for my business book.  Actually, he found me at the last MEGA Book in LA in February.   I am convinced that face-to-face meetings are much better than just sending something in the mail.  So why not increase your chances?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-799" title="richestkidsfrontcvrwebmed" src="http://www.pencilbugs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/richestkidsfrontcvrwebmed.jpg" alt="richestkidsfrontcvrwebmed" width="129" height="193" />This MEGA Book event will be extra exciting because it is the official release of Mark Victor Hansen&#8217;s upcoming book &#8220;<em><strong>The Richest Kids in America</strong>.&#8221;</em>   Mark interviewed thirteen kids at different stages of their businesses for his book.  I feel very fortunate that he included my story.  So along with several of the other kids in his book, I will be speaking onstage that weekend.</p>
<p>If I&#8217;ve convinced you that this is an event you don&#8217;t want to miss, please register through my <a href="http://www.pencilbugs.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">website</span></a>.   I get credit if you do and the kids from his book are in a contest to see who can refer the most people to MEGA.  It will be loads of fun!  If you&#8217;re a biz kid, you get a great deal too.  It&#8217;s only $299 for kids 18 &amp; Under.</p>
<p>See you at the party! <img src='http://www.pencilbugs.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
