SFWA will have a presence at this year’s Baltimore Book Festival, held September 26-28. If you make it to the Inner Harbor that weekend, here’s when you’ll be able to find me.

How can I get my writing noticed?
Saturday 4:00-5:00
You’ve finished a story or book and now you’d like to get it published and start buzz about your work. But in this modern age, the avenues for publication and promotion are dizzying, and they often tangle together. What are your options? What will bring you the most word of mouth? The most reviews? The best pay? Should you go it alone or seek a major publisher? Come talk with publishers, editors, con organizers, and reviewers about your options.
with Elektra Hammond, Don Sakers, Peggy Rae Sapienza, Mike Underwood, and Jean Marie Ward

Science Fiction and Fantasy Mysteries
Sunday 2:00-3:00 p.m.
Mysteries in science fiction are one of the trendiest new subgenres. What happens when you add “What if?” to “Whodonnit?” Join our panelists to discuss detectives, procedure, body disposal in the past, present and future, and more. They will talk about how you can extrapolate all that into the future for science fiction mysteries.
with Jeanne Adams, Sarah Pinsker, and Don Sakers

Hope to see you there!
