Featured Guest and Writing Workshop Instructor: Peter S. Beagle
   Peter S. Beagle was born in New York City in 1939 and raised in the borough of that city known as the Bronx. He originally proclaimed he would be a writer when ten years old; subsequent events have proven him either prescient or even more stubborn than hitherto suspected.

Artist Guest of Honor: Michael Golden
   Michael Golden is an American comic book artist and writer best known for his late-1970s work on Marvel Comics' The Micronauts, as well as his co-creation of the characters Rogue and Bucky O'Hare.

Guest of Honor: Eric Flint
   Eric Flint was born in southern California in 1947. Other than a few years in France, he spent most of his youth in Fresno and Los Angeles, attending UCLA during the late '60s and early '70s where he earned a bachelor's degree in history. He became politically active as a socialist during the early '70s left school for the blue collar world. Between 1974 and 1992 Eric held down just about every industrial job imaginable--from meat packer to glass blower--in just about every part of the country; most of the time still an activist for labor.
