I will be appearing at Philcon
So this weekend I am at http://2011.philcon.org/ ,
I will be appearing at Philcon , Below are the panels and times of the panels I will be specking on.
Sat 10:00 AM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)
ILLUSTRATED NOVELS FOR ADULTS (834)
Barring the front cover, almost no novels for adults have
illustrations nowadays. But with an increasing number of YA novels
containing illustrations, is it commercially and/or artistically
viable for this to become the norm?
Sat 11:00 AM in Crystal Ballroom Three (1 hour)
CHASING THE NEXT BIG THING (838)
Do book and magazine editors create trends, or follow them? And
should they
Sat 3:00 PM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)
IS STEAMPUNK HERE TO STAY? (774)
Will steampunk stay on as a social phenomenon, even after the
literary ore has been mined out? What is the relationship between
steampunk fashion, music, and literature anyway
Sun 1:00 PM in Crystal Ballroom Three (1 hour)
EVERBODY, GIMMIE A DOLLAR! THE CROWD-FUNDING PHENOMENON (727)
Crowdfunding websites are designed to help you make your artistic
projects come to fruition. Discuss with panelists the pros and cons
of using sites like kickstarter or chipin.com. Is there another one
you can recommend? Which of these websites are for you, if any
So if you are coming this weekend this is what I will be doing.
