I’ll be at Capclave two weeks from Friday, where I’ll take part in five programing items and record several episodes of my Eating the Fantastic podcast.

If you’ll be in Rockville weekend, too, here’s where you’ll be able to find me.

Friday 8:00 p.m. (Monroe)
Scott Edelman reads from recent and upcoming works.

Rejections Happen
Saturday 10:00 a.m. (Eisenhower)
The life of a writer involves hearing many variations of the word “no.” Rejection comes with the territory but that does not make it easier to experience. Panelists discuss coping with rejection, how to continue writing through them, and what you can learn from receiving a no.
with A. T. Greenblatt, Ef Deal, Nate Hoffelder, and R. Z. Held

Writing Through Adversity
Sunday 11:30 a.m. (Wilson)
Writing is hard enough but writers are also full human beings dealing with obstacles that can make it difficult to maintain a creative practice. From financial and family responsibilities to chronic pain and other mental and physical challenges, panelists talk openly about coping with daily pressures that often interfere with one’s writing life.
with A. T. Greenblatt, R. Z. Held, and Sarah Avery

Help! I Have to Edit My Draft!
Sunday 1:00 pm: (Wilson)
It’s okay to admit that editing your draft is hard work. The task can feel daunting but is a necessary part of the writing process. Panelists discuss the importance of being your own best editor as well as the tips and tricks for making the editing process not so painful.

YouCon 2024
Sunday 2:30 pm (Wilson)
In Sarah Pinsker’s novella, “And Then There Were (N-One)” SarahCon represents a multiverse of Sarahs navigating a murder mystery plot. Our panelists share versions of their own multiverse con, from their personalized programming track to events made just for every version of them.

I hope to you can join me!
