Thanks to those who have already volunteered. We still need some more help. Please drop by and sign up to help for a couple of hours. It's a great way to meet your fellow authors and publishing professionals. Many a plot idea and book deal first saw the light of day in a late-night conversation in the SFWA Suite at some world con somewhere. Let that next idea be yours!

Closes Wed-Sat - sometime in the wee hours - probably 2:00 am, possibly later
