Hi writers,

Sorry I haven't posted yet this week. It's a pretty busy week for me because I'm getting ready to go to San Diego Comic Con next week. I'm really excited about it. I think everyone needs to pay attention to Comic Con. It's become more than just a comic convention... it's really a popular culture expo. Check out this article about why Comic Con is cool.

Artists and writers can make connections at the show whether your goal is to work for comics or for movies or television. It's a great place to try to rub elbows (of course, everyone else is doing that too...)

Nevertheless, I'll be at the show promoting books and plan on reporting on some cool things. Just a few teasers:

• Ryan Mecum, author of Zombie Haiku will be there and his book is kickin' butt right out of the gate (I'll chat with Ryan about promotional ideas and maybe get some advice on making book trailers
• The IMPACT UNIVERSITY panel from IMPACT Books will feature artists and comic writers giving advice on how to make it in the biz (writer Peter David, whose titles include a comic adaptation of Stephen King's Dark Tower, numerous comic titles and Writing For Comics With Peter David will speak; as well as Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game).

I'll also be cruising around the floor and will try to let you know about news I find out about cool movies, TV shows and other great stuff... not to mention posting cool photos from the show.

If you're coming to the show, there will be some great events sponsored by F+W... check out our schedule below:
