***UPDATE***
Due to the current state of uncertainty, Coastal Magic's 9th Annual weekend will be going virtual!!! I've got lots of ideas, I'm doing lots of research, and have some fun plans. Many authors are already on board, and I'm looking forward to trying new things with all of you amazingly creative people.

I've added a question about the Zoom platform to the end of this original questionnaire. Please answer each one, even if you feel it doesn't apply to the virtual event. Thanks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coastal Magic Convention 2021 (9th Annual) will be February 18-21, 2021. Featured Author selection is done by invitation only, with a dedicated focus on building a diverse, dynamic collection of authors and stories. Completing this form will let me (Jennifer) know that you are interested in participating as a Featured Author. This form is not an invitation, nor does it guarantee a spot in our lineup. The information in this form will be used to evaluate all requests and make final decisions. Invitations for Coastal Magic 2021 will be sent in the spring and summer of 2020.

Having said all of that "official" stuff -- I really hate having to tell authors no. Unfortunately, because our event is specifically intended to be smaller, we just don't have the option of including everyone who asks to participate. I do my very best to create an author lineup that is fun, welcoming, and includes a wide variety of sub-genres and publishing backgrounds. Thank you for your interest, and I hope to see you in Daytona sometime!
