Preliminary Program Grid for Ty Drago

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Ty Drago 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: A Maker's Playlist (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Washington Theater
Participants:Irette Y Patterson, L. Penelope, Morgan Hazelwood, Sunny Moraine, Ty Drago (M)
Authors such as Marie Lu have spoken lovingly and openly about the playlists used when writing or editing their books. Panelists explore the role of music in their creative process. Does anyone create in silence? Does changing up a playlist disrupt the creative workflow or inspire it by setting a new mood and openness to different points of view? What music inspires your novel, poetry, artwork, or reading?

Saturday 1:00 pm: I'll Have Some Mystery with My Speculative Fiction (Ends at: 1:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Charles Gannon, Joan Wendland (M), Sarah Pinsker, Ty Drago
Adding a good old fashioned whodunit to a science fiction or fantasy story can add an intriguing and fun element. What makes for a good setting and plot for an SFF mystery? How do you balance providing enough clues to interest the audience without making the solution obvious? What are the tropes and potential pitfalls and where can you find great examples of this done well?

Sunday 10:00 am: State of Small Press Publishing (Ends at: 10:55 am) Jackson
Participants:Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Neil Clarke, Sarah Avery (M), Sarena Ulibarri, Ty Drago
Small press publishing is steadily evolving with new trends emerging for editors and authors alike. Panelists explain the ins and outs of small press publishing today.
