Philcon

This weekend, I'll be at Philcon in downtown Philadelphia. The con is being held at the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel (formerly the Wyndham Franklin Plaza). My schedule at the moment consists of the following panels:


Sat 4:00 PM
BAD WRITING HABITS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

Everything from sloppy proof reading to finding excuses not to write
and how to avoid them.


Sun 11:00 AM
NETWORKING

How the new writer should go about meeting editors and agents.

Sun 2:00 PM
RELIGIONS CREATED FOR FANTASY OR SCIENCE FICTION

The religions that authors create as part of the plot or setting.


I will likely also have a reading, but we're supposed to sign up for one of those when we arrive. So look for a posting or a flyer indicating when authors are reading once you get to the con.



Hope to see you there!

I'm planning to attend the "virtual Philcon" in Second Life, but it doesn't look like any of your sessions are the ones they're broadcasting there. Oh, well. I wave my pixels in your general direction. :-)

I don't think any of my panels are the virtual con either. I asked for some of those panels, but since I don't have a presence at SL it's probably best I'm not on those panels. Would have been fun though.
