OOHHH--I'm so sorry about not having the cons there Library. Hey, maybe YOU should try organizing one. Start out small, then build it over time. Concentrate on local (i.e. NZ) authors/celebraties if you want to include the latter. Then, as time goes by, it can get bigger and bigger. A couple of the ones that I go to are HUGE--but then again, they've been going for like 35 to 45 years each. Then there's the "smaller" ones that only have a couple hundred people come to them. But those are good to, because you get a chance to make friends with everyone.

Check some of the web sites ( and for 2 that I know right off the top of my head.) Balticon is the bigger of the 2, Raven is small (its one of the ones with only a couple hundred people attending.) But there are links that you can click on and ask for help, if you DO decide to organize your own. I've given you sci-fi/fantasy links here, because I'm not sure who puts on the Romance Times/writers ones. But Balticon especially is VERY literary. It gives out the Compton Crook awards for best new writer in the fantasy/sci fi genres. Always LOTS of writers at it.

Well see. You have an author right there to convince to attend a con that you and a few friends throw together.

Basically what you need: A web-site, a hotel (unless its going to start out just for where you live), and a couple of "guests"--artists, writers, publishers, musicians, anything at all. Then you need a venue for the get-together. Like I said--if you send an email to the link at the web-sites, explain that you are trying to organize your own Con in NZ and I'm sure that you're email box will over-flow with help.
