SUPERSTARS WRITING SEMINAR, Las Vegas, Nevada April 30-May 1, 2012
This is a three-day seminar I’m running along with several other bestselling authors (Kevin Anderson, Brandon Sanderson, Dave Wolverton and Rebecca Moesta). The seminar is designed to teach new and developing writers everything they need to know about commercial fiction publishing and the business aspects of being a professional author.
We’ve done two of these already, the first in Pasadena in 2010 and the second in Salt Lake City in January of this year. If you’d like to see testimonials from previous seminar participants, you can find them here: http://kjablog.com/?p=1746
Early bird prices will become available as of May 1. The seminar is being held next year, in 2012, so there’s still a full year to make your plans. The dates fall on a Monday through Wednesday. We normally run the seminar on weekends, but by running in on three weekdays we can take advantage of much lower lodging prices in Las Vegas. The cost of holding the seminar is a bit cheaper also.
Yes, I know that truely LOYAL minions would do this more than once every 18 months or so, but never-the-less, the bibliography page (linked from the home page in the right-hand-menu) is now current through November 2008, with dates for publications extending through Dec 2009.
Appearances are current for everything I know about in 2009 as well.
And if someone wants to fix the 2007 entries in the chronological bibliography, feel free to send it to me, and I’ll post it with credit!

(Just for a sense of scale, and to let you know how cool it might be to go to, this year’s New Zealand national SF Convention is being held in a hotel with 68 rooms, and they say that “we should be able to take over a large chunk of it.” The 2007 con hotel has 65 rooms.)
