Houston's sf convention Con-Troll 96 is over for another year. I especially loved this year's as the guests C.J. Cherryh, Jane Fancher & Harry Harrison are some of my favorite sf writers. The panel they were on "Getting Started as a Professional Writer" was a marvelous showcase for the variety of backgrounds from which writers arise. Jane Fancher summed the panel when she said "Ah aspiring writers! Most of you I can't help. Some of you I can't stop." And the one thing they all agreed on - with some awful stories - was that there is a special place in hell for publishers - right next to the agents. [1]
