This Friday evening, May 18, I’ll be taking part in the mass book signing at the Nebula Awards Weekend from 5:30-7:30 P.M. This is an event that is free and open to the general public (not just folks who register for the awards weekend). It’s a great opportunity to get your books signed by several dozen of your favorite science fiction and fantasy writers (and to buy their books, too, which will be on sale in a display outside the autographing and meet-and-greet room). The Nebula Awards Weekend will be held at:
The Hyatt Regency Crystal City Hotel
2799 Jefferson Davis Highway
Arlington, Virginia
The Book Depot will be open on Friday from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and will then reopen during the two hours of the mass signing.
Some of the writers who plan to participate in the book signing include:
Brad Aiken
R.J. (Rebecca) Anderson
Lou Antonelli
