| Friday 5:30 pm: Romance in SFF (Ends at: 6:25 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Charlie Jane Anders, Jean Marie Ward, Jeanne Adams, Joan Wendland, L. Penelope (M) Romance is an integral part of many great SFF stories. And it is a versatile storytelling tool too - sometimes driving the story or perhaps just one piece of the narrative tapestry. What are these different approaches and what romantic scenarios are most familiar and compelling to readers? How have audience expectations changed over time? Panelists will get to the heart of our beloved genre. |
| Friday 7:00 pm: The Art of the Book Review (Ends at: 7:55 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Charlie Jane Anders, Karlo Yeager Rodriguez, Michael Dirda, Natalie Luhrs A good book review and reviewer can be a reader's best friend. Learn about the world of book reviews and the skills for crafting them. What is different about reading with a critical eye versus for pleasure? Where can you find good reviews? What can authors gain from reading (or writing) these critiques? |
| Saturday 1:00 pm: The State of Queer SFF (Ends at: 1:55 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Charlie Jane Anders, Jennifer R. Povey (M), Joshua Benjamin Palmatier Publishers have been steadily making space for fiction with queer characters and themes despite bans and censorship on authors and titles. There is still a long way to go, but more LGBTQ people are showing up in stories in joyful, fully formed, and also mundane ways. Panelists discuss the strides (and setbacks) in recent years and how readers, authors, and publishers can counter attacks against queer stories. |
| Saturday 2:30 pm: A Little Perspective: POV in Fiction (Ends at: 3:25 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Charlie Jane Anders, Jean Marie Ward, Scott H.
