Preliminary Program Grid for Joshua Benjamin Palmatier

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Joshua Benjamin Palmatier may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Friday 4:00 pm: Pick Your Poison: Standalone, Trilogy, or Series (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Eisenhower
Participants:Cathy Green (M), Jeanne Adams, Joshua Benjamin Palmatier, Mark Roth, Natalie Luhrs
For reader and writer alike, there are strong opinions on the value of a story that is one and done versus settling into a universe and its characters for a while. Panelists discuss the benefits and challenges of each. When do you know that a story wants to be one or the other? Does writing individual stories set in the same universe count as a series? Are duologies becoming more common?

Friday 5:30 pm: Author Reading: Joshua Palmatier (Ends at: 5:55 pm) Monroe
Participants:Joshua Benjamin Palmatier
Joshua Palmatier reads from recent and upcoming works.

Saturday 11:30 am: Judging a Book By Its Cover (Ends at: 12:25 pm) Wilson
Participants:Joshua Benjamin Palmatier (M), Mike McPhail
There's more to choosing the visuals of a book than meets the eye. What are the elements to consider in creating and choosing a book cover? How has this evolved in recent years and what are past and current trends? Our panelists reveal the unique business of book design and share their design triumphs and horror stories.

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.
