* Book Signing: All published authors (regardless of PAN status) are welcome and invited to participate in our multi-author book signing Saturday from 4-5:30.
**The Cold Read Sessions are 2 1-hour sessions where a panel of editors and agents read aloud, anonymous, previously submitted pages from attendees, and offer
immediate critiques. These pages may consist of a single-spaced 1-page query letter, or a 1-2 page synopsis, double-spaced, or up to the first
2 pages of a manuscript, double-spaced. This is a fabulous opportunity to get an editor or agent's immediate impression of your work and the
work of others -- a valuable learning experience any way you look at it. Click the Cold Read link to print out the Submission Form that must
accompany all entries -- to be received no later than September 1, 2008. Please note there is no guarantee every submission will be read due
to the limited time.
***Koffee Klatch: All published authors (regardless of PAN status) will be eligible to participate in the Bookseller/Librarian Koffee
Klatch if they choose to. This is an additional program offered based on registration number and until maximum seating limit is reached. This
program will be offered for a small fee to cover the cost of a continental breakfast and many other benefits.
