The Digital Bookstore—What’s For Sale?
Saturday 2:00 PM (Dearborn)
The advent of digital readers has an evolving impact on the marketplace for fiction. The market for shorter fiction, for story collections, and the relative ease to “print” different lengths has expanded dramatically. How will that affect the next decade of fiction? Will the novella see resurgence in popularity with the general public? With mainstream publishers? We will look at the last few years, and try to extrapolate what that may mean for the future.
Mary Robinette Kowal, Scott Edelman, Scott H. Andrews, Tobias S. Buckell, Yanni Kuznia (M)

Comics As Literature
Saturday 7:00 PM (Dearborn)
Comics are an art form distinct for their inclusion of both visual and written storytelling. When the written word transcends the mundane and captures something vital, some element of truth, that work is generally touted as literature. But what of comics? There have certainly been works that reflected the zeitgeist of their creation perfectly, works that have held a mirror up to our collective selves and shown us something beautiful … or ugly. What do we call these creations, and what about them—art, writing, something unique—makes them so special?
Christine Purcell (M), Peter V. Brett, Scott Edelman

Judge A Book By Its Cover
Sunday 10:00 AM (Warren)
