Information about signing sessions, book launches en kaffeeklatsches.
Signing sessions
At a signing session, an author will be present in the dealers’ area to sign their books. The dealers’
area management, in consultation with the programme team, will make and publish a schedule for
the signing sessions. This schedule will be published at least at the start of every day. If you are
interested having oone or more signing sessions, please send us an email at dealers@erasmuscon.nl
with the following information:
1) your name
2) whether or not you are part of our programme.
The dealers’ area management will then make a schedule, in consultation with the programme team.
Please note that the deadline of sending in your request is the 14th of July. Final schedule will be
available at the end of July.
Authors who have not booked a table at Erasmuscon can bring their own books to the Erasmuscon
tables (next to Fantasize) and give them in consignment, and these books can be sold there during
the whole convention. This enables fans to buy the books they want whenever they wish, without
the need for the author to be present. Authors can collect any unsold books at the end of the
convention or at any time of their choosing before then.
Book launches
Authors or publishers who want to launch a new book are required to send in the “Application form
book launches Erasmuscon”. Through this form, they can specify on which day and at what time
they wish to launch their book. The dealers’ room management will make a schedule to prevent
clashing launches.
If the author or publisher wants to serve refreshments at their launch they have to contact WTC
directly about the details.
If the author or publisher does not have their own table in the dealers’ area, they can bring the books
to be launched to the Erasmuscon tables (next to Fantasize) on the day itself and give them in
consignment. There, the books will become available at the moment that has been agreed between
the author or publisher and the manager of the Erasmuscon table.
Kaffeeklatches
We will also be hosting kaffeeklatches, a small gathering of about 10 people about a certain topic, in
our dealers area. If you are interested in hosting one of these kaffeeklatches, please send us an email
at dealers@erasmuscon.nl with the following information:
1) your name
2) topic and description of your idea for a kaffeeklatch and
3) whether or not you are part of our programme.
The dealers’ area
management will then make a schedule, in consultation with the programme team. Please note that
the deadline of sending in your kaffeeklatch idea is the 14th of July. Final schedule will be available
at the end of July.
