You just watched Stardust but still can’t get enough of Neil Gaiman? Fret not. The Mutli-awarded English author of science fiction and fantasy graphic novels “Sandman,” “Anansi Boys” and “Coraline” is back in the country for the 20th Philippine Ad Congress. He is set to expound on the topic “Imagination and Creativity in the Contemporary World” on the 22nd of November, the second day of the Congress.
He’s also in town for the the launch of “Expeditions: The 1st Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards Compilation.”
He will co-present the Graphic/Fiction Awards with Fully Booked at Fort Bonifacio, High Street. Speaking of Fully Booked, they have an ongoing contest which science fiction, fantasy and horror fans might want to participate in. View more details here. All winning entries will be compiled and published by Fully Booked, with a foreword written by Neil Gaiman.

Is there going to be a book signing on the 25th? That’s what’s most important (since I can’t make it to the Ad Congress)
