Festivals Galore

Posted By Philip Palmer On 19th March 2008 @ 09:37 In Miscellaneous, Novel Writing, Screen Writing, Science Fiction | 3 Comments

I'm off to [1] Eastercon this weekend, for what promises to be a fabulous convention. Two of my favourite writers - Neil Gaiman and Tanith Lee - are Guests of Honour - and I notice that the magnificent and prolific Charles Stross will also be attending. My agent John Jarrold, a veteran of Worldcons and Eastercons, will also be there. I'm new to the SF convention experience, but I expect to be a duck impacting water.

And in fact, from now on my year appears to be cluttered with festivals and conventions - I'm on a panel at [2] Alt. Fiction in Derby, with the gifted Stephen Gallagher, and then in May I spend a week in Cannes, for the Film Festival.

And between those two events comes another great festival, which I would like to shamelessly pimp - the [3] London International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film. If you can get to London do check it out.

Now I need to find some time to actually write novels.
