I wonder, Ric, how much of this conference will be on-line / on the net via
moos or sites or chat rooms -- us chair-bound nomads wldn't mind listening
in from a distance -- isn't that what it's meant to be all about -- b.t.w.,
I haven't been able to connect via the url in the message you forwarded..

>The Broadway Media Centre, Nottingham, England
>
>The internet offers great opportunities for writers. There are
>fascinating new forms of writing to be discovered; interesting people to
>meet, and swathes of research material to be mined. But it also brings
>concerns. Authors are worried about copyright and intellectual property.
>They are wondering how they can earn money from working online. They
>fear that The Book may be dying.
>
>This conference brings together an international group of professional
>authors and educators with extensive experience of the internet to
>address some of these anxieties and provide informed opinion about the
>potential of the net for the artistic community.
