I'm sure there'll be quite a bit of talk about dark fantasy and horror, as this is where guests Graham Joyce and Kaaron Warren shine. If you've got ideas for particular things to talk about, then let me know :) Nicole R Murphy Chair, Conflux 4 www.conflux.org.au Hi Keri

They're both huge in America, and there's currently a number of Australians and New Zealanders doing big business over there in both genres As an Aussie who writes dark urban fantasy, I’d love to have this market and the paranormal romance market talked about more here in Oz.

How about something to do with cross-genre pollination, the mixing of crime/mystery elements and spec fic, or romance and spec fic. The challenges of writing that, and reaching across audience boundaries. Another thought.

We've got a workshop on characterisation, being done by Kaaren Sutcliffe, but it's definitely something to do a panel on too. And I think bringing the other writing disciplines in as well is a brilliant idea. I definitely want a lot of horror/dark fantasy in there, particularly since two of our guests are from that realm of things (Graham Joyce and Kaaron Warren). So I'll definitely get in touch with the AHWA, thanks for the suggestion, Andrew! Nicole Hi Karen and Andrew

I though the one last year went really well but could have examined areas more related to getting published (geared to writers) in the area than the different models used to set up a webzine (rather than geared to publishers). I'd like to see the AHWA be involved in programming with a nice stream for Horror/Dark Fantasy, especially with all the things going on in this genre in Australia at the moment.

They are the real interface between writers and readers, and often have the clearest idea of what it is the reading public is really after. Also, a panel on how other writing disciplines (script writing, playwriting, poetry, journalism/non-fiction) can help a novelist improve their work/technique? What makes a character memorable, and how do you create one? Is there really a gender difference in writing? Do men and women write differently, and can they ever create a realistic character of the opposite sex? How about a panel featuring a range of specialist spec fic booksellers?
