When I shared my tentative Worldcon schedule a few weeks ago, I left out some of the specifics because rooms, dates, times, and even my the identities of my co-conspirators for each panel were open to change.

But now that Sasquan has released its final schedule, I figure I’m safe. So here are the definitive places to find me when I’m not otherwise wandering and schmoozing

To Include or Not to Include … Evaluating Writing Critiques
Wednesday 7:00pm 45min CC Bays 111B
When you’ve had a manuscript critiqued, you’ve gotten feedback … likely tons of it. But how do you sort out the good advice? What do you do with conflicting advice? New and mid-level writers can be led astray by critiques as easily as helped by them. This panel will discuss how to choose the advice that benefits your writing while still keeping it your story.
Alan Smale (m), Karen G. Anderson, Jennifer L. Carson, Scott Edelman, Patricia Briggs

Kaffee Klatche
Thursday 11:00am 45min CC 202B-KK3
Limited to 10, requires advance sign-up. Coffee and snacks available for sale on the 2nd floor.

Writers Workshop
Thursday 4:00pm 3hr CC 201B
Fifty-plus entrants submitted speculative fiction manuscripts in advance to be constructively criticized by industry professionals. In this section, a few of these entrants go on the hot seat to hear what the pros have to say. All workshop sections are closed to non-participants.
Richard Chwedyk, Scott Edelman, Martha Wells

Match Game
Thursday 8:00pm 2hr CC 300B
Get ready to match the fannish stars! In this SF/F-themed game show based on the popular 1970s game show, audience members will be randomly selected as contestants to match wits with our panel. The object of the game is to guess how the panel answers fill-in-the-blank questions like “Captain Kirk has the biggest ___ in Starfleet.” Winners receive prizes such as gift certificates from Worldcon dealers, book packages, or convention member- ships. All contestants receive Lovely Parting GiftsTM.
Kevin Standlee (m), Scott Edelman, Tom Galloway, Leigh Ann Hildebrand, Mur Lafferty, Kevin Roche, Amy Thomson, Mary Crowell

Stroll with the Stars
Friday 9:00am 45min CC Breezeway/Statue
A gentle morning stroll with some of your favorite authors, artists and editors. Meeting each morning at 9AM in the Breezeway between the INB Theater and the Convention Center (check your map), and returning in time for 10AM programming.
Stu Segal (m), Kate Baker, Neil Clarke, Scott Edelman, Brad Foster, Leslie Turek, Catherynne M. Valente

The Future of Food
Friday 12:00pm 45min CC Conference Theater 110
Science fiction rarely discusses what people will eat in the future. Denny Zager and Rick Evans’ 1969 hit song, “In the Year 2525,” predicted “Everything you think, do and say is in the pill you took today.” Will the future really replace barbecue and burgers with capsules and protein drinks? How far can nutriceuticals go? Will we print our food in 3-D or carve it from Chicken Little? How are cuisines and tastes evolving? What drives food trends?
Amy Thomson (m), Beth Cato, Scott Edelman, Lawrence M. Schoen, Fran Wilde

Autographing
Friday 4:00pm 45min CC Hall B
Steven Barnes, Jennifer Brozek, Tananarive Due, Scott Edelman, Nancy Jane Moore, John Pitts

Beyond Superheroes: SF and Fantasy Comics
Saturday 10:00am 45min CC Bays 111B
Comics are more than superheroes. There have been and are many SF and fantasy comics, ranging from Sandman to Astro City, from Adam Strange to Fables. What SF and fantasy comics should all fans—even those who aren’t comics fans—know?
Brenda Clough (m), Kurt Busiek, Scott Edelman, Mark Van Name

Reading
Saturday 4:30pm 30min CC 303B

Oh, the Horror! Scaring Teens
Sunday 10:00am 45min CC 300D
Teens flock to slasher flicks, but what about slasher lit? Horror isn’t just violence and gore. Achieving true horror is an art, but what does it take to hit that scary sweet spot? And how close to the line can you get when writing for teens without stepping over into adult fiction? Young readers love to be scared just like adults, but why? Join our horror specialists in delving into the literary depths where even angels fear to tread. You might even find out where the boogie man hangs out when he isn’t hiding under your bed.
Scott Edelman (m), Kendare Blake, Susan Forest, Gillian Redfearn

See (some of) you in a couple of weeks!
