Hi, Everyone, just a heads up that The Write Fantastic are holding a one day convention in Oxford to commemorate their fifth anniversary. This promises to be a great, fun and informative event, which will be packed with authors, publishers and editors (okay, I admit to being biased, but it should be fun! 
).
This will be on 8 May 2010 at St Hilda’s College in Oxford. The programme has now been finalised:
10 am - doors open
10.30 - “Debut novels - the adventure starts here” - Kari Sperring, Ian Whates, Mike Shevdon and David Moore (of Solaris books)
11.30 - “Politics and Genre - fantasy conservatism vs SF radicals?”- Juliet McKenna, Jessica Rydill, Geoff Ryman, Ben Jeapes, David Moore
12.30-2.00 - Lunch interval
2.00 - “Character; the Heart of the Story?” - Sarah Ash, Freda Warrington, Stephen Deas, Chaz Brenchley, Jenni Hill (of Solaris Books)
3.00 - “Reflections on a life in writing” - Chaz Brenchley, Liz Williams, Ben Jeapes, Geoff Ryman, Ian Watson.
4.00 - The launch of The Write Fantastic's Anniversaries anthology, available from Newcon Press, together with some reflections on The Write Fantastic’s past five years.
