These science fiction conventions have asked members of RFF to prepare presentations in a Call for Papers.

"We wouldn't mind a paper or two ourselves," writes Tuckborough, The Shire, of the 3rd Conference on the Middle Earth.

This list is growing as I learn more about the past activities of RFF. If your favorite science fiction or fantasy convention has room for a session that meets our mission, or workshops for teachers, parents, and librarians on encouraging reading with speculative fiction, let us know.
Please tell the deadline for the presenters to apply as well as the dates of the next convention. Website links help, too, as do contact names.
Maybe there is a calendar in the making.
Either blog comments or direct contact are welcome ways of sharing this information.
A note especially to writers and artists:
ReplyDeleteRenovation, the 2011 Worldcon wants your ideas on programming. The first invites to prospective panelists
are due out in November. Past experience of RFF member Dave is that one should expect programming slots to be filled by early spring, since slots for the MilPhil 2001 Worldcon program were filled by April for the September con. To ask Dave questions about WorldCon and the RFF and AboutSF roles in the past and future WorldCon programs, contact readingforfuture at gmail.com. AboutSF and RFF presented teacher workshops together at MilPhil Worldcon 2001.
Ignore the email in previous comment.
ReplyDeleteAnything for Reno should be sent to AboutSFworkshop @ gmail dot com
