Simner, Walker, and Yanique are potential PWW2015 writers that you could get to read your work. I've already posted on some others.
The mix of authors, poets, and agents is always very interesting. The choices sometimes are very difficult, but rest assured, you can't make a wrong choice.
My only advice is: Don't miss Nancy Mairs.
Simner has an interesting web site: www.simner.com

Writing success isn't about how many books you sell. Still it is nice to sell a lot of books.
Amazon keeps track of their sales. Under details for a title, its best seller position is noted with #1 being the most sold.
Just for fun I checked a few. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins was number 8.
Liar by Nora Roberts, #115; Finders Keepers by Stephen King, #513; Blessing Way by Tony Hillerman, #34,370.
When checking out writers that may be at Pima Writers' Workshop 2015, the Writers Buffet lists Cynthia Bond. Ruby by Cynthia Bond is an Oprah's Book Club 2.0 pick. Today Ruby has an Amazon best seller position of #3,054. Wow!

Monica Drake
Still doing my homework for the Pima Writers' Workshop 2015.
Kenosha Public Library has Monica Drake's 2013 novel, The Stud Book.
As usual I get a book by the author, check out their web site, and check out Amazon.com (read the reviews, look at the ratings, visit the author page). www.monicadrake.com
Read the first page of The Stud Book, you'll probably read the whole novel.

David Ellis Dickerson
Doing my homework for Pima Writers' Workshop 2015.
If you send in a manuscript to PWW 2015 for an author's comments, you'll list which authors you prefer to read your work.
David Ellis Dickerson was listed on Writers Buffet blog as a possible. I checked out from the Kenosha Library his 2009 House of Cards. It is a funny memoir.
I walked into a session with an author who had read my submission without ever reading any of her work nor without first attending her presentation at the conference. For me that was a big mistake. I missed a valuable opportunity. When she asked if I had any questions, I just mumbled a few really lame ones. Listening to her presentation and reading one of her books brought home how great a loss.
Dickerson is a good example. An excellent match for people with a sense of humor. An excellent match for those writing memoir. He has the skills, the talent, and the experience.
But before you choose him, check him out in his books, on his website ( www.davidellisdickerson.net ), and at www.amazon.com .
I first scan the author's books --- first pages and last page and then the middle. If interested, I read more. He hooked me on both his first page and last page in House of Cards.
