Important PHILCON News!
An official announcement from Philcon:
We at Philcon are pleased to announce that our principal speaker for Philcon 2012 will be author and poet Catherynne M. Valente!
Catherynne M. Valente is a New York Times Bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction novels, short stories, and poetry. She has written over a dozen volumes of fiction and poetry since her first novel, The Labyrinth, was published in 2004. She has been nominated for the Hugo, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards, as well as the 2011 Nebula Award for her novella "Silently and Very Fast". She is a winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Award for expanding gender and sexuality in SFF, the Mythopoeic Award for Adults, the Lambda Award, the Million Writers Award for best online short fiction, the Rhysling Award, and the Andre Norton Award for YA literature.

Philcon 2012 will be held November 9-11, 2012, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ. Membership, hotel, and program information will be available at our website, Philcon.org, as it becomes available. Thank you, and we can't wait to see you there!
Once again this year, I will be the head of Programming for Philcon, working once again under our conchair, Gary Feldbaum. Anyone interested in helping us out this year (because we are always looking for new volunteers to keep the con running) may contact us directly. Thanks!
