I can hardly believe it – in three days I’ll be at my first writer’s conference – augh!!! I’m very excited!
As I mentioned before, I’m a little bummed that I haven’t had my business cards printed yet, so I’m going to go ahead and make some generic ones (thank you Staples!) to take with me. I’ve finally got the layout figured out so everything is nicely centered, but now I need to add my info…
So what do I add??
I originally put in the following info:
My Name
Phone Number
Email
Blog
But that looks a little sparse. Plus, if someone puts my card away and finds it two months later, I’d like for there to be a clue on it about who I am/what I do.
So what do YOU recommend? What should I put on my dozen or so cards that I’ll be passing out this week. What kind of information do you like to see on card so that you can easily remember a person?
You could put the genre of the stuff you write. I put science fiction, fantasy author on mine.
Some authors have a tag line that they use such as, "Where fantasy meets reality" or "Where love blooms". You could come up with such a line that fits you. 🙂
Your twitter handle and a Facebook page for your writing (which you could start). Other than that, all they really need is how to get a hold of you!
I think you're fine. Keep it elegant and simple.

I put the log line for the novel I was pitching on the backs of mine, and just a little information (name, genre, email, website, and maybe phone I think) on the front. Other writers seemed to enjoy seeing the logline.
I hope this conference is wonderful for you! 🙂
