Convention Book (conbook) Questions
|
Each year, Anthrocon produces a convention book highlighting current writing and artistic talent, plus comes packed with helpful and interesting articles. These are distributed to all of our attendees at the convention.

All submissions should be in the 'G' to 'PG-13' rating. Conbook submission(s) AND release form must be RECEIVED by us no later than April 26, 2010. We strongly encourage electronic submission of material. Please see the Conbook Submission Guidelines for complete details on file formats and specifications.

Anthrocon is unable to use any works without this additional release. We will attempt to notify you via e-mail that your submission has been received.

Due to deadlines, it is difficult to inform content creators if their work has been selected for publication prior to the convention. We make changes to the conbook right up to (and sometimes after) the conbook has been submitted to the printer. In efforts to keep costs down, we have discontinued the post-convention mailing of conbooks to all contributors. However, extra copies may be obtained at the convention from the Publications Director after Closing Ceremonies. If you are not attending the convention and would like one sent, one will be mailed to you after the convention upon request. Publications-related correspondence only can be sent to:
