A little birdy told me that the November issue of The Writer (featuring an article by yours truly) has just hit newstands. I've written a lot about online networking, but this article focuses on good old-fashioned networking face-to-face: choosing which events to attend, overcoming nerves, breaking the ice, and following up afterwards.
