* A fantastic Artist Guest of Honor (the first Artist GoH we've ever had at a Stoker Weekend)
* Pitch sessions with mass market publishers, small press publishers, literary agents and at least one major film producer (seriously - you're not going to believe we got this guy to take pitches when you see his list of credits!)
