3:00 PM F Cities, Real and Imaginary. Jedediah Berry, Leah Bobet (leader), Lila Garrott, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Anil Menon. Great stories have been set in cities both real and imagined. Does a real city require different writing techniques from an imagined one? How well do you need to know (and research) an actual city? If you're making one up, how do you apply your knowledge of real cities? When can you "cheat"? When do you have to?
I have a degree in this. No, really. Should be fun.
Sunday July 17
11:00 AM RI Absent Friends: Remembering the People We've Lost This Year. Lila Garrott, Geoff Ryman, Sonya Taaffe (leader). In the past year, the field lost authors Diana Wynne Jones, Joanna Russ, James P. Hogan, E.C. Tubb, and Brian Jacques; artists Jim Roslof and Doug Chaffee; publishers April Derleth and Margaret K. McElderry; critics Melissa Mia Hall and Neil Barron; and others. Come join us as we celebrate their lives and work.
And this should be wrenching but necessary.
12:30 PM VT Reading. Lila Garrott. Garrott reads from 365 Reviews, No Waiting, a one-book-a-day-for-a-year blogging project.
Working title only; I have no idea what I'll actually call the assembled book. This is the first time I've done a solo reading. I suppose one must begin sometime. Anyway, I know it's the last slot of the con and everyone will be exhausted, but please do come, though I'm not sure if I will be more frightened if the room contains a lot of people or almost nobody.
