It is a official, these are places I will be.

Writing Cross-Genre: Cross-genre fiction is coming popular at the same time that many new sub-genres are being defined. What is there about SF today that calls for ever more specific categories while also inviting blurring of those boundaries? One might say the whole point of genre is to help bookstores/libraries/etc know where to shelve your book, and cross-genre books are notoriously difficult to categorize. And if no one knows what to do with your book, it probably won't sell well. So why write cross-genre fiction? What is the appeal? Friday 8:30 PM – Krushenko's

Minn-Spec Meeting and Meetup: Learn about this resource-sharing network for professional and aspiring speculative fiction writers. Saturday 11:30 AM - Krushenko's

The Editors Panel: Editors answer questions/share their thoughts about the craft of editing. Saturday 2:30 PM – Krushenko's

Reading: I'll read an excerpt from my forthcoming novella, The Horror at Cold Springs and something from my collection, "Shimmers & Shadows." Saturday 4:00 pm Veranda 1.

Including Disabled People In Fiction: How is disability presented in movies, book and TV? What are some of the best examples, and what makes us change the channel or press the eject button? How can publishers and authors make media more friendly and accessible to disabled fans? Sunday 2:30 PM – Verandas 3 / 4
