Norwescon 24 Progress Report

Dear Advertiser:

The program book is now in production for Norwescon 24, a large regional Science Fiction and Fantasy convention. Held over the April 12-15, 2001 weekend, Norwescon will attract over 100 professional guests and 2500 fans to the Seattle-Tacoma area.

This year we are proud to present as our Guests of Honor author Connie Willis, author James P. Hogan, artist Bob Eggleton, fan Charles N. Brown, and Spotlighted Publisher Bantam /Dell Publishing Group.

The program book for Norwescon 24 will resemble those from previous years. The 68+ page souvenir will be printed in black ink on 70 lb. coated offset and will feature a full color cover by Bob Eggleton, a color section of artwork, and fiction.

The Norwescon program book is renowned for its heavy use of artwork throughout. A notation with book title, author, and publisher are included with each illustration when supplied.

Along with photographs and biographies of the Guests of Honor there is also a large section of photos and brief introductions of every attending author, publisher, or other guest of Norwescon.

More than just a publication of programs and times, the Norwescon program book is a collector's item and is sold separately after the convention.

Given the size of the convention and the collectibility of the program book, your advertising dollar will be well spent. Whether you are a publisher, book dealer, store, convention, or club, advertising in the Norwescon program will put you in front of the buyer's attention both during and after the convention. There is no better way to reach Northwest Science Fiction and Fantasy readers and buyers.

The program book is saddle stitched and measures 81/2 x 11 with a 71/4 x 10 image area. Advertising rates are as follows:

Full Page (71/4 x 10 or 81/2 x 11 full bleed) $140
