STEPHEN JONES is one of the announced Guests at ALT.FICTION—Derby's Festival of Horror, Fantasy and Sci-fi on SATURDAY JUNE 12.
The other Guests are RAMSEY CAMPBELL, MIKE CAREY, PAUL CORNELL, PETER CROWTHER and ROBERT SHEARMAN.
Derby's festival for alternative fiction is a one-day event featuring some of the top authors, editors, agents and publishers in the field. The day is made up of a number of different types of sessions, including author talks, Q&A sessions, readings, discussion panels, workshops and a mass book launch.
In addition, Alt Fiction 2010 will have a new and second-hand bookfair running in parallel to the other events of the day, and there will also be some improvised comedy in the bar in the evening. If comedy is not your thing, then there is always the option of a late-night movie double-bill showing in cinema 2 that will be programmed and introduced by Steve!
Tickets cost £25.00

Although I was one of the co-organisers, I had a wonderful time at the convention catching up
with old friends and meeting new ones. I didn't get time to attend as many programme items as
I wanted to (I was only on one panel myself), but I did participate in a few book launches
(for Robinson Publishing and PS Publishing) and ended the weekend by hosting a private party
for close friends and colleagues as a belated "thank you" for last year reaching a total
of 100 different books. Thanks again to everyone who helped make the convention such a huge success!
