Here are the three panels—all scheduled for Saturday, October 10—on which you’ll be able to find me.<\/p>\n

Tiptree Retrospective<\/strong>
\n10 a.m<\/em>.
\nAlice Sheldon, who wrote as James Triptree Jr. was born 100 years ago. She was a complex individual who kept her true identity secret even from the many writers who communicated with her by mail. Robert Silverberg famously wrote that only a man could have written Triptree’s stories. What did she have to say and what was her best work? Why is she important to the field?<\/p>\n

Small Press Vs. Self-Publishing<\/strong>
\n2 p.m.<\/em>
\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of small press compared to self-publishing? Why did you choose one over the other? How will the rise of both affect the creation and distribution of books?<\/p>\n

Building Your Audience<\/strong>
\n6 p.m.<\/em>
\nNow that you finished your book and found a publisher, how do you get people to read it? What promotional devices work and what turns potential readers off? And, after you’ve published three or four books, what can you do to expand your readership and get readers of your newest book to look at your older ones?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
