Well, WorldCon is almost here! I’m excited. Are you excited?
Once again, I’ll be filling up some of my time at WorldCon doing in-person interviews with authors, editors and artists. If you’re interested in being one of those folks, all you have to do is follow these instructions:
- Send me an email – patrick (at) the new universe dot com – no spaces.
- Make your subject line: I want a WorldCon Interview
- In the body of your email: tell me who you are and what you do
In order to participate, you have to have a cell phone that can send and receive texts during the convention so we can coordinate, and be willing to share said cell number with me. No one else will see / use / have access to your number. (I’ll even delete it after, if you want me to.)
I’ll also be doing a limited number of Functional Nerds interviews at the con, so if you’d rather be on that show, let me know in your email!
Have an idea for a live panel recording we could do? I’d be open to that, too. Pitch me your idea 🙂
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you at WorldCon!
