                        Readercon Update #1

READERCON, the convention for those  who  spend  more  time  READING
imaginative   fiction  that  watching  or  playing  it,  has  a  few
announcements:

    -we have signed GENE WOLFE, one of the  finest  imaginative
     writers  and  prose  stylists of our time, to be our first
     Writer G.O.H.  He joins  Publisher  G.O.H.  Mark  Ziesing,
     whose  small  press  has  brought  out books by Wolfe, Ian
     Watson, A.A. Attanasio, and the late Philip K. Dick.

    -we now have a date (June 27--28, 1987[please note  year]),
     and  our  location will be the Hotel Bradford in Boston, a
     classic hotel  in  the  theatre  district  which  will  be
     undergoing extensive renovation and restoration in 1986.

    -two   forms   of   membership  are  available:  SUPPORTING
     memberships (includes Progress Reports, Program Book,  and
     post-con  Final  Report)  and  ATTENDING memberships.  For
     more details, write to the address below.

    -we will be sponsoring awards for Small  Press  achievement
     in this field.  Details to follow when we figure them out.
