| Contracts Workshop (2 Hours) | ||
| Jane Jewell, Executive Director of SFWA, will give you insight into the arcana of contracts: What do those terms mean? Sub-Rights? Territories? Reserve Against Returns? What to look out for. What you can usually change just by asking. What they won't budge an inch on. All those things that you'd really rather learn before you start negotiating your next contract! Limited to 15 participants. |

| How to Get a Real Agent (2 Hours) | ||
| This two hour mini-workshop will be conducted by SFWA's Chair of Writer Beware. Ann Crispin will discuss sources for locating and querying appropriate agents with good track records of sales. She will also instruct participants on how to avoid the many incompetent or outright scam agents proliferating these days. Participants should bring their query letter, and Ms. Crispin will critique it and make suggestions for improvement. Limited to 10 participants. |

| Reviewers Workshop (2 Hours) | ||
| Peter Heck gives a discussion of the problems and techniques of book reviewing, with an emphasis on reviewing of SF, fantasy and related genres.
