thanateThe Baltimore Book Festival is this weekend!
I will be at the SFWA tent on Sunday September 27! On panels with people you've maybe heard of! Madness!
1 pm- "Reading Group 5: Spotlight in Short Fiction" Short fiction is often said to be the heart and soul of the science fiction and fantasy genres. Discover short fiction and your new favorite author! Our award-winning readers have been published everywhere from Granta to Asimov's to the Year's Best anthologies.
Readers: Ann Chatham, Scott Edelman, Carmen Maria Machado, Sarah Pinsker, Bud Sparhawk
2 pm- "Short Stories: Why they Rock Science Fiction and Fantasy" They can be as short as a few words or almost as long as a novel, but short works have always been important to science fiction and fantasy. Hear why and how short fiction showcases the best of our genres. Learn where the hot stories are being published, and get answers to all your questions from our panel of acclaimed short fiction writers.
Panelists: Bill Campbell, Ann Chatham, Scott Edelman, Carmen Maria Machado, Sarah Pinsker, Cat Rambo, Bud Sparhawk, Fran Wilde
6 pm- "Book Discussion: Ann Leckie's Ancillary Sword" Ann Leckie's first novel, Ancillary Justice, won the Nebula, the Hugo, and every other award in sight last year. The sequel, Ancillary Sword, is hitting all of this year's award lists. If you like space opera, artificial intelligence, or space station mysteries, this is the book for you. We'll discuss this amazing series in conjunction with the Baltimore Science Fiction Society’s monthly book group.
Panelists: Ann Chatham, Elektra Hammond, Sarah Pinsker, Karlo Yaeger
I'm also going to be at Capclave on Saturday, October 11, but I'm not sure if that schedule is fully finalized yet. Now I shall go dither about not having a good 10 minutes of short story, and what was I thinking when I said I'd read things, I haven't written anything remotely finished recently, anyway, argh! (I might have done that before WFC last year, too, & that turned out ok.)
