re-UPDATED, again
Wiscon, the world's largest feminist science fiction convention, is two weeks away. Yikes. There's a lot to do. As I've done with previous conventions, here is a list of things I want to accomplish before May 22 when I get in my car and drive up to Madison:Get Robert Freeman Wexler chapbook from printerDesign EV 14 post cardsPrint EV 14 post cardsDesign subscription flyersPrint subscription flyersDesign Wexler chapbook flyersPrint Wexler chapbook flyersMake round stickers for giveawaysPrint updated price lists
Post new website designContact panel members for "The Magic Book Machine" (I'm moderating)
Attach posters to foam boardGet EV 14 from printersMake Scribe party giveaways and displaysGet party supplies (what the party supplies are also needs to be determined)Get sekrit stuff
Pick out clothesGet a haircut? (don't have time)
Pack car
And there are two panels (back to back on Sunday) for me to prepare for:
"Inside the Magic Book Machine" Sun 1:00 - 2:15
Having leaped the hurdle of selling a book to a publisher, few authors grasp the rest of the process. A managing editor takes you through the mechanics of the black box that is publishing. Learn how to prepare a manuscript so that the book that comes out is the one you envisioned; keep the process on schedule so sales and marketing have the time and tools they need to promote your book most effectively. A guide to becoming the author people at the publisher like--and will go the extra mile for."

"Does Written SF Have a Future?" Sun 2:30 -3:45
Is the print SF/F book or magazine as outmoded as the dodo? Is online writing the wave of the future, or will that, too, fall by the wayside in favor of other media? Is the sky falling, or has it always been falling, or is it not falling so fast after all?
