| Transcript | PROGRAMMING As we mentioned in our first progress report, this year's programme will be somewhat different than those of previous years. We'll have some new topics for discussion — the neglected and little known classics of the genre, the art of collecting books, a World Fantasycon retrospective, and new mythologies — and perhaps a bit more emphasis on new faces, those who are just starting their careers and undoubtedly will play a large part in the future of fantastic literature and art. Again, we will have interviews with and readings by our guests of honour, and an entire track of programming devoted to readings by attending authors. We also are trying to arrange an evening of music, song and story-telling in as many traditions as we can muster. All in all, we hope to spice this tenth anniversary convention with a true international flavour. As of May 1st, the following professionals have indicated that they will be attending this year's convention: Terri Windling Mark Alan Arnold Robin McKinley Galad Elflandsson Marlene Y. Satter Katherine Eliska Kimbriel John Morressy Roy A. Squires Sterling E.
