TOC ’09 — “Where Do You Go with 40,000 Readers? A Study in Online Community Building” — Ron Hogan (Beatrice.com), John Scalzi (Scalzi Consulting), Patrick Nielsen Hayden (Tor Books), Tobias Buckell

At TOC ’09 I was part of a panel about readership and community building with John Scalzi and Patrick Nielsen Hayden, which was hosted by Ron Hogan, who was awesome enough to get me on the panel and thusly, into the TOC conference where I had an absolute blast talking to people who were thinking about the future of publishing.
