hi rina, you make an excellent point, which i had not considered. between your comment and kevin’s (see post above), i feel like i’ve learned much more about WFC. i considered changing the original post, but that feels like a “take back,” so i’ve decided instead to acknowledge my ignorance and salute you and kevin for putting me on the right track. and, i agree, it is all about the literature…and good parties

I have to disagree with your statement that there were no readers there…witness the fact that everyone that attended are readers, that it’s a professional convention geared towards editors, publishers, authors and publicists who are themselves readers, and that 95% of the donated books given to attendees went home with attendees. World Fantasy is not a fan convention – never has been, never will – it is more of a trade convention for professionals to network, mix and schmooze. But it is all about the literature. And good parties

huh, well there you go. thanks kevin! i wasn’t aware. possibly because i’m still in the pre-published limbo & so interact much more with the industry side. hopefully that’ll change jay like saluted the readers in his talk during the banquet, but it’d be nice if the Con had a way to celebrate the readers who were there. don’t really know how but i like the idea

We readers were there. Some of us were the people working on the convention (like the Hospitality Suite, my desmesne), and a goodly number of other local readers were in attendance.

We were aware, however, that WFC is more for the people writing and publishing, not for their fans.

a wise choice. it will bounce back & even in lean times, there’s room for heartfelt literature, IMNSHO.
