Where to find me Saturday at WorldCon – Strolling, Genius, Language, and Chiropractors

After a night of not enough sleep, so you know it’s a successful WorldCon, I’m off to the programming races today. Here’s where to find me.

Strolling with The Stars – Rivercenter: Lobby.

But Why Can’t You See My Genius? – 101A

1:00 – 2:00pm

Let’s face it; nobody likes rejection, but every writer is going to get rejection letters at some point. Why the rejection? Why don’t they love you? Your work may be wrong for the publisher, may have arrived on the wrong day, or it may simply be the 350th angsty vampire novel the poor sorry slush pile reader has seen that week. How can you turn a rejection letter into a “hell yes!”

Beth Meacham, Michael Underwood, Eleanor Wood, Mary Robinette Kowal, Joshua Bilmes

Use of Language in Fantasy – 006A
