What is your best advice for a Fan to Author panel?
« on: February 01, 2016, 09:29:14 PM »
Yes, I've been asked to be on a panel with the above discussion at left Coast Crime (mystery/thriller fan con) in Phoenix this Feb, and that is the topic.  http://leftcoastcrime2016.com/

What advice would you give? What advice would you find helpful?

Any and all would be appreciated!

Are you going as a fan on the panel or an author on the panel?  I guess I'm not too sure how it works.

Be presentable, make your answers short but complete, and don't let yourself monopolize the time.

With luck you will have a good moderator, that will keep the panel moving and the fans interested.

Lastly if you have a book to promote, be positive and brief, having a card with a link to you site helps also.
