Can-Can at the Can-Con

8/13/2010

 
The Conference of Canadian Speculative Arts and Literature, better known as Can-Con 2010, will take place over the weekend of August 20th to 22nd.  I’m pleased to be a guest at the Con along with GOH, Marie Bilodeau, and several other Ottawa SF luminaries.  If you will be in the Ottawa area and have an interest in speculative fiction or writing of any kind or just feel in the mood for something fun and different, I encourage you to attend.  SF Cons are a great bargain for your entertainment dollar!

The Con opens at 5pm on Friday at the Travelodge Hotel on Carling.

My schedule:

Friday, 6pm, Time to Write: – how should a writer manage his/her time?  Yes, you want to write, but when? Writers talk about time management and tips to get going on the days you really don't feel like you can.

At 7pm, I’ll be attending the book launch of Marie’s new novel, Destiny’s Blood.

Friday, 9 pm, How to Prepare your Manuscript for the Market: -- This discusses the long (and sometimes arduous) process that a *completed* manuscript
must undergo before it is published and reaches the local bookstore.  From editing to sales pitches, from finding an Agent to release timing, this covers all
the tasks that authors usually are unaware of -- but are needed before a book reaches the bookstore's shelves.


Saturday, 11am Reading: I’ll be reading some of my short fiction.

Saturday, 5pm   Book Launch of my new Novel, Stealing Home

Sunday, 10 am Writers’Workshop with the inimitable Matthew Johnson.

And, of course, I’ll be around for all the other fun events that the Con has to offer.

Anyone who wants to attend my Book Launch but won’t be attending the rest of the Con ($40 at the door), you should let me know by Thursday so I can make arrangements for your admittance.
