Balticon Schedule!!!
May. 22nd, 2012 09:38 amI'll be attending Balticon this coming Memorial Day weekend and I have what I think is my schedule. This comes from scanning through the schedule posted online, so I may have missed something. But this is what I saw. If anyone catches something I missed, let me know. I'll be there Friday-Sunday (not there on Monday), so catch me if you can. There will be a release party for The Modern Fae's Guide to Surviving Humanity on Saturday night starting at 7pm for an hour featuring me and Jean Marie Ward, one of the contributors to the anthology. Swing by and say hi! We'll have copies of the book (and our other books) there for sale as well. The book launch will be in Parlor 1041.
Friday:
7pm: Fantasy Title Chain: Panelists and members of the audience come up with plot synopses for book titles provided by the audience! Should be uproarious fun.
Saturday:
10am: Editors Roundtable: Editors talk about working with authors and publishers and creating those books and anthologies you see there on the shelf.
3pm: A Literary World Without Borders: Panelists talk about how the publishing world is changing with the death of brick and mortar bookstores and the shift toward electonic books.
4:30pm: Sequels and Prequels: Writers talk about the different aspects of writing sequels and prequels.
6pm: When Does that Alien or Mage Become a God or Demon?: Panelists talk about the fine line between when characters with magical powers or significant differences become that world's gods and demons.
7pm: PARTY!!!!!: Book launch for The Modern Fae's Guide to Surviving Humanity with editor (me) and contributor Jean Marie Ward.
Sunday:
Noon: Liars' Panel: Panelists respond to 10 questions, lying for 3 of the 10. Audience members must wager on whether the panelists are lying or not. This is fundraiser panel, so audience members should bring lots of $1 bills in order to bet on when the author is lying or not. All cash goes into a booty for the charity. I'm actually an alternate panelist on this one, so may not be participating if everyone else shows up.
