mmarotta Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Who have you met in person? If you go to an ANA convention or a regional show like FUN or CSNS, you cannot help but meet other authors. At my first ANA convention in Detroit in 1994, I shared a dinner table with Wayne Sayles and his family. Working for Coin World on the first day just about tripled the number of writers I knew at that time. At ANA shows in 1999 and 2000, standing at the CW booth, I met more writers than I could beat with a stick. A few months ago, I discovered that Dan Freidus lives a couple of miles from me. I already told my best Alan Berman story. For all of that, the one writer I was most pleasantly surprised to bump into, almost literally, was David Lange at the Cleveland ANA in 1996.

Ætheling Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I was gonna say i never had met any coin authors. (I've met plenty of historian authors though), but then it dawned on me i have actually met Chris Perkins the guy that runs the predecimal forum and he published coinbooks for a living. Not quite famous just yet though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have not met anyone yet, except Michael, indirectly. I would like to meet Tuukka Talvio someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I was going to say no one and then I remembered that Anthony Swiatek has written some books (although I don't have any of them). I talked briefly with him at a coin show several years ago. He was a very nice man and quite nice to the person I was there with who was a US Commem collector. I mostly just listened.
