News: February 2009 Archives
The place to be for thriller lovers is New York in July. It'll be hot outside but inside ... it'll be hot, too! Hot bestsellers, hot topics, hot authors. Better than going to the beach with your favorite new thriller book! You can mingle with your favorite thriller authors instead.A preliminary schedule is available now at www.thrillerfest.org. CraftFest, held July 8-9, 2009, is devoted to writers of all levels, including aspiring writers working on their first books. AgentFest, on the afternoon of July 9th, will thrill you in a different fashion if you're looking for an agent. Over forty top agents will be available to hear your pitch.
ThrillerFest begins Thursday evening, July 9th, with an opening reception. Free drinks, free munchies, and terrific mingling opportunities! Contributing to the heat will be Steve Martini, R.L. Stine, Lee Child, Joe Moore, M.J. Rose, Heather Graham, Shane Gericke, Douglas Preston, Joe Finder, Carla Neggers, Kathleen Antrim, David Hewson, Christine Kling, James Rollins, Gayle Lynds, Brad Meltzer, Dakota Banks, Michael Palmer, Karin Slaughter, and many more ITW authors! Friday's focus will be on our Spotlight Guests, Robin Cook and Katherine Neville. On Saturday, you'll eat breakfast with David Baldacci and listen as Steve Berry introduces debut thriller authors. On Saturday afternoon, 2009 ThrillerMaster David Morrell and 2008 ThrillerMaster Sandra Brown will be interviewed. If that's not hot enough for you, we'll turn up the heat and let 2006 ThrillerMaster Clive Cussler's co-authors roast him.
On Saturday night, you'll bask in the glamor of our all-inclusive banquet package: a pre-banquet cocktail party, the banquet including the presentation of the Thriller Awards, and an exciting after-party.
Just like a visit to the beach, you'll go home with plenty of memories and photos galore, but you'll be missing one thing--sand in your clothes!
Note: Feeding Body & Mind will have several collection boxes at ThrillerFest, so don't leave home without your books to donate!"
