I am the hard-boiled program person for the 2003 Las Vegas
Bouchercon, with the help of Ted Hertel. Deen Kogan, who is
chairing the event, will pass appropriate authors on to us as
they register, and we will begin to build programs. Once an
author registers, our question will be "what do you want to
do?" We are looking for everything from traditional panels to
creative suggestions for new presentations. If you are more
comfortable with us designing your panel, we will. We will be
using moderators. We have 17 program slots to fill with 4
authors and 1 moderator per panel, or a total of 85
opportunities for people to participate, so our definition
of
"published" will be rather strict early to make sure we can
feature all the authors we want. One possibility for short
story, e-book, self-published authors in the hard-boiled
field is to have a joint program where many authors will be
featured in a round-robin fashion to make sure everyone in
this area who registers is featured at one point or another.
All participating authors will also have a signing.
If you are on this list and want to try your hand at
moderating a panel filled with hard-boiled writers, send me
an e-mail. I will be needing 17 moderators in Las Vegas, and
it would seem that people who subscribe to this list would be
an excellent source for moderators. Don't worry if you have
never done it before, we are going to have specific
instructions to help you through the process. This is a great
way to get up, close and personal with the authors, so give
it a try.
Register early and get on board by going to http://bconvegas2003.org/
