For editor\/columnist\/publishing polymath Rick Klaw, back as a panelist for his 14th year, it’s the presence of highly literary writers like Haldeman, Lansdale, and Crider that makes this event important. "One of the strengths of ArmadilloCon has always been that it’s three fans to every pro, so the pros feel a lot more comfortable," he said. "You have a chance to sit down and talk about whatever projects you’re working on. As an editor, you can sit down to talk about working with newer writers.

This, you’re talking about what you’re going to do."<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
