When Words Collide!
This weekend, I'll be attending the When Words Collide Festival for Readers and Writers in Calgary, Alberta.
If you're attending, here's where you can find me:
FRIDAY:
1pm, Are Vampires and Zombies Dead?
Kai Kiriyama, Craig DiLouie, Aviva Bel'Harold, Scott Burtness
Have vampires and zombies outlived their market appeal? Or will they reign again with new and grittier tales? Find out what's popular in the horror genre, what's going to the grave (at least, for now), and what new terrors are appearing on the horizon.
3pm, The Blind Leading the Blind to the End of the Full-on Double Rainbow
If you are considering self-publishing or hybrid-publishing. come hear me discuss my experiences with approaching agents and publishers via traditional queries and emerging social media channels (ie. Twitter pitch parties, etc), my decision to self-publish, and my experience with self-marketing and promotion.
6pm, Corvidae and Scarecrow Anthologies Launch
My short scifi story, "If I Only Had an Autogenic Cognitive Decision Matrix" is featured in the Scarecrow Anthology (edited by Rhonda Parrish, published by World Weaver Press). Authors from the anthologies will be giving short readings from their works and taking questions from the audience.
SATURDAY:
1pm, Hold That Thought
Kai Kiriyama, Susan Bohnet, Scott Burtness
A safe place to keep those ideas that might turn in to a poem, a short story, a novel, a magazine article or a card to your grandmother. Journaling is a practice unto itself.
Panelists discuss the benefits and best practices of journaling.
8p, Author Autograph Session
If you picked up my books at the Shared Authors table of the Merchant's Corner, wouldn't it be super-sweet to get it signed?
FYI - I'll sign other author's books too. Why not, right?
SUNDAY
3pm, Northwoods Wolfman Launch Party
More monsters in the Midwest? Uff dah. Join me for the launch of the second book in my Monsters in the Midwest series. Stop by to hear a few short readings from the book, and discuss why horromedy (aka comedorror) is so much fun to write and read.
