Preliminary Program Grid for Leslye Penelope

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Leslye Penelope 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 5:00 pm: Is There Still a Self Publishing Stigma? (Ends at: 5:55 pm) Eisenhower
Participants:Ken Altabef, John Hartness , Nate Hoffelder, Leslye Penelope (M), Diana Peterfreund
For years many readers and reviewers have assumed that if a self-published (aka independent) book was any good it would have been published by a professional press. Many say that self-published books are poorly edited and proofed. But younger readers have less of a bias and services such as Kindle Unlimited allow readers to try books before paying for them. Is there still a stigma against self-publishing? What can their authors do to create a more positive image for these books?
Friday 6:30 pm: Author Reading: Leslye Penelope (Ends at: 6:55 pm) Adams
Participants:Leslye Penelope
Leslye Penelope reads from new and upcoming works.
Saturday 11:00 am: Arming Your Characters (Ends at: 11:55 am) Eisenhower
Participants:Mike McPhail, Leslye Penelope (M), Rosemary Claire Smith, Christopher Weuve
The weapon needs to fit the situation. A ray gun is great until you have an energy shield. Part of worldbuilding is knowing the technology available and how they interact and offset. This information is then conveyed to readers. Panelists will delve into how to chose a weapon and why sometimes a lesser known weapon might be just the right choice.
Saturday 3:00 pm: Important Rituals (Ends at: 3:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Jennifer Brinn, Larry Hodges, Leslye Penelope, Karlo Yeager Rodriguez (M)
Religion often revolves around rituals, but so do societies and groups. Sheldon Cooper knocked three times in a specific manner, each time including a name for a reason. How can these little bits develop a world? What are some common rituals seen everyday? Which rituals deserve more attention? Which should go away?
