Hello!
Published by Deanna Hoak August 9th, 2004 in blogIt’s been a while since I updated, I suppose. I got back from Comic-Con a few weeks ago and have been shamefully lazing about since then.
Comic-Con is *huge*! I found it way too large for comfort, actually, and I doubt I’ll ever attend again. I did, however, have a nice time hanging out with the Del Rey editors (who I really believe are the nicest in the business), and I got to chat with some really nice authors, like Steven Barnes, Minister Faust, Howard Hendrix, Greg Keyes, China Miéville, Chris Paolini, and Mark Cotta Vaz. Terry Brooks very graciously signed copies of his work for my nephew, who attended with me and is a huge fan of his. Wonderful people, all.
In total, it was a fairly nice time. The crowds, though! Ugh. I had in mind that Comic-Con would be somewhat like a WorldCon, and it’s nothing at all the same. San Diego was a very pretty city, though, and I enjoyed what I saw of it. I may go back there someday when Comic-Con isn’t going on. :-)

About
I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I was short-listed for a World Fantasy Award for my copyediting.

I think the only way to do it is to be there all 5 days and take it in small bites…but yeah, it’s overwhelming, eh? I didn’t even see all of the exhibition hall.
