Preliminary Program Grid for Mark Roth

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Mark Roth 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?

Saturday 4:00 pm: Writing in Other People's Universes (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Washington Theater
Participants:Charles Gannon, Jean Marie Ward (M), Mark Roth
Whether writing for comics, venturing into tie-in novels and other adaptive media, or championing fan fiction, writing good stories in a known world requires a unique skill set. Panelists discuss what it takes to create compelling narratives for a universe not their own and how to push the limits without crossing the guidelines of the borrowed universe.

Sunday 10:00 am: Modern Book Bans (Ends at: 10:55 am) Eisenhower
Participants:A.C. Wise, Andy Duncan, Jeanne Adams (M), Mark Roth, Sam Lubell
There has been an alarming trend of censoring and banning books in public libraries and schools often targeting LGBTQ, Black, and Latine stories and authors. Banned Book Week, a campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International, starts on Sunday, October 1st. Who is behind the current book bans? How can we support the freedom to seek and to express ideas in our public spaces? Are there books that should be banned or have limited access?
