The day is made up of a number of different types of sessions, including author talks, Q&A sessions, discussion panels and workshops. There will also be a number of publishers in attendance, including Angry Robot Books, Gollancz, Solaris, Abaddon and BBC Books, while genre agents John Berlyne and John Jarrold will also be sharing their considerable experience.
Authors attending include: Chaz Brenchley, Juliet McKenna, Mark Charan Newton, Graham Joyce, and Sarah Pinborough among others. I went the last time it was held and it was (a) very interesting (in an almost anthropological kind of way) and (b) good fun. So if you fancy a day at the Quad in Derby come along (although tickets are, apparently, selling fast.)
Rats! It sounds terrific and Derby isn't far away... but we're going on holiday the day before. Grrr. Oh well, maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI kept putting off getting the tickets and then they sent an email to say that sales were going well so I thought I'd better pull my finger out! I haven't been in the Quad before so I've no idea what kind of space issues they may have (or not.)
