Upcoming Events
Fall is nearly here, and I’m excited about it because I’ll be attending several fun events over the next month or so. Here’s a quick list. If you’re in the area of any of these events, I’d love for you to drop by to participate or just to chat!
FenCon: Dallas, TX. September 23rd-25th.
My schedule:
Friday 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.: Villains: A love/hate relationship
All drama needs conflict and who better to deliver conflict than a good villain. Sometimes we even find ourselves rooting for the villain in the end. What makes us cheer some and hiss at others?
Saturday: 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.: Autographs
Saturday: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.: From Idea to Outline
Sometimes a story idea is just a character, a setting or a "what if" situation. The authors on this panel will describe their process of getting from initial idea to enough of an outline to get started with.
Saturday 3:00 – 3:30 p.m.: Reading
Virtual Author Visit at the Houston Public Library: October 12th at 4:00 p.m.
I’ll be visiting with readers via webcast as part of the Houston Public Library’s Teen Read Week Virtual Events.
Nimrod's Conference for Readers and Writers: Tulsa, OK. October 22nd.
I’ll be helping run this all-day writing workshop, and also will be moderating a panel entitled “Q&A: Editing and Publishing: Why? How? What? When?”
The workshop features classes on writing poetry, fiction, historical fiction, YA fantasy, and memoir, as well as classes on finding an agent and starting a high school literary magazine. You can also sign up to have a one-on-one editing session with one of Nimrod Journal’s editors. I’m really excited about Patricia C. Wrede’s class, “The Magic of the Past: YA Fantasy,” which will focus on rooting your fantasty in history.
