Apollo Con preparations

Published by Patrice Sarath on

I’m pulling things together for Apollo Con this weekend. I’ve got the workshop manuscripts ready to go, and I’ve put the manuscripts on the Kindle for my reading. I’m taking both Lady of Temia (planning to read from chapter 4) and if there’s time, I will read a little bit from The Unexpected Miss Bennet.

Here’s my schedule (my commentary in parentheses); if you are in the Houston area, hope to see you there.

Friday

6 pm. Out of the Basement: Fan stereotypes (hee!)

9 pm. YA Heroines: The joys of having a spine

Saturday
9 am – noon. Workshop  (yay!)

3 pm. Reading, shared with Rhonda Eudaly

4 pm. Darkness in YA: Depravity or Reality? (they must have read my blog and/or the Wall Street Journal)

Sunday

10 am Left Behind:  The Scientific Wasteland

Noon: The Next Generation: How We Raise Tomorrow’s Fans (I have OPINIONS on this)
