Where to See Me Next!
Making It: What Handcrafts Can Teach Us About Writing‘ll be joining Ann LeBlanc, Nicole Wolverton, Mar Vincent, & Eva Elasigue TOMORROW, June 9th, for this virtual discussion on what handcrafts can teach us about writing at the 2024 Nebula Conference.
From the panel description:
“Many writers practice some kind of hand-craft, from fiber arts to woodworking to metalsmithing and numerous others. The panelists will share what lessons translate from creating physical objects to telling stories (and perhaps vice-versa!) as well as other benefits a craft hobby can provide to writers.“

Next week I’ll be taking part in Storycrafting Sessions: Editing, hosted by Weeknight Writers on June 15th 2024. What is Storycrafting Sessions: Editing?
It’s a free-first one-day virtual conference all about the editing process! We’ve got five incredible panels lined up for you (all times are EST):
11AM – 12PM Getting the Big Picture: Demystifying Developmental Editing
12:30 – 1:30PM Tips and Tricks for Self Editing
2 – 3PM How to Refine Your Narrative Voice
3:30 – 4:30PM How to Stay Focused: Editing for The Fifth (or 15th) Time 
5 – 6PM Bridging the Gap: How to Know When You’re Done Editing and What to Do Next
This is the one I’ll be on!
What does free-first mean?
Free-first means you can attend this event for free! Free tickets are available for all panels. This is part of our efforts to make educational resources and support available to ALL authors, especially working-class and poor authors.
However, a lot of work goes into these events – in fact, Storycrafting Sessions are our most labor-intensive events to create. So we offer Supporter Tickets for folks who want to pay us for the time and energy we put into these events.
Supporter Tickets also come with some benefits! To learn more and sign up, you can go here – https://ko-fi.com/post/Storycrafting-Sessions-Editing-FULL-SCHEDULE-K3K6XX5ZQ
I hope that I’ll see you at one or both of these panels! I am very excited to be taking part of both of these fantastic events.
