GenreCon gathers together local writers from Michigan and Ontario and brings them together for a one-day literary event that is free to all participants.
Panels cover a wide range of topics such as how to get published, how genre fiction fits into literature as a whole, whether authors should go for style or just try to tell a good story, and how to create good stories, setting and characters, as well as readings by authors, book signings and sales and short films.
Authors currently attending: Lou Allin, R Scott Bakker, Rick Bletcha, Eric Choi, Dennis Collins, Peter Halasz, Marcy Italiano, Sandra Kasturi, Gord Rollo, Brett Alexander Savory, Mark Terry.
Update 4/30/2004: Sarah Zettel had to cancel.

I'm not sure how this one slipped by, but all I can say to this is that not even Jeff noticed. :-)
