The World Horror Convention. It is to horror aficionados what Dragon Con is to comics collectors, writers, illustrators, and so on. It'll be in Atlanta in May of next year, and I am stoked! Guests of honor include Christopher Golden, Lisa Tuttle, and John Farris, just to name a few. There will be an artist alley, a ball, and, most importantly (for me, anyway) pitch sessions. The official site www.whc2015.org doesn't have the details up, but I envision something along the lines of speed dating for writers. I've got two novels to choose from, and in the coming weeks and months, I will write about the process of choosing which story to pitch, the process of getting the story ready for a session, and everything that happens along the way that seems relevant to the goal of becoming a published writer.
First, though, I have to get in.
It'll be upwards of $125 to be a part of the convention, and for me, that's not insignificant. Then, I imagine there will be some sort of acceptance process. I may be wrong, but I imagine there are a LOT of people who will want to pitch their work in progress, and those being pitched to will have to have a process in place for choosing who to accept. I don't know. I've never done anything like this. But what the hell. I'm game.
Stay tuned, my friends. We'll learn together. Okay?
Till then...
