AUTHORS OF FOR DUMMIES® TITLES TO GATHER AT UNCONFERENCE IN SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, CA … Alan L. Rubin, M. D., author of Diabetes For Dummies®, is pleased to announce that he is organizing an event with authors of For Dummies® publications. The meeting will be held in San Francisco from November 3 through November 5, 2006. The “unconference” will take place at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel on O’Farrell Street and will include a variety of For Dummies® authors from across the nation. Literary agents and representatives from Wiley Publishing, the publisher of the For Dummies® series, will also be in attendance. Several sessions will be open to the public.

The conference, or “unconference” as it is being billed by its organizers, will be a gathering of authors from the For Dummies® books in an event that is being organized and sponsored by the authors themselves. Authors in attendance are experts in diverse areas that include basic computing; advanced computing and the Internet; sports and leisure; health, mind and spirit; making and managing money; and the home. The public will be invited to book signings at local bookstores, where groups of authors will be available to sign their books.

According to Dr. Rubin, organizer of the event, “The For Dummies® series has a wide breadth of topics. It seemed only logical that an event of this sort would be beneficial not only for the authors but for the general public as well.”

“The initial response for the event was overwhelming,” Dr. Rubin continued. “Currently, the attending authors represent everything from acne and computer viruses to poker, gambling and money management!”
