mmerriamAnd now I have my Minicon Schedule
Short Stories and the People Who Love Them - 10:00AM Saturday - Krushenko’s

Non Western Cultures In Fantasy - 11:30AM Saturday - Krushenko’s
Writing in cultures beyond North America or Western Europe. Working in new geographies offers readers and writers chance to step out of their comfort zones or reclaim their heritage. What are some of the challenges and which writers do this well? Panelists: Eric M. Heideman (M), Michael Merriam, Adam Stemple, Ricky Foos, Marissa Lingen
Ask A Writer - 4:00PM Saturday - Veranda 2
Always wanted to know how a novel is born? How does a writer structure their day? Is it all glittering parties and intelligent company? Come ask a panel of working writers anything! Panelists: Michael Merriam (M), Jane Yolen, Pamela Dean
Common Misconceptions About Publishing - 11:30AM Sunday - Veranda 5/6
How is the publishing industry structured? What exactly does an author sell to a publisher, and what do publishers want to see? Why are books the length that they are? Published authors and editors talk about their experiences and share their "If I knew then what I know now..." stories. Panelists: Michael Merriam (M), John Scalzi, Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Teresa Nielsen Hayden
Michael Merriam Reading 1:00PM Sunday - Veranda 1
*I've been doing Ask A Writer at all the various SF/F conventions I'm attending this year. I knew it would draw different writers at different conventions as well as getting different audiences with different questions. I thought it would be a great way for the audience members to come ask questions to writers at different points in their careers.

I haven't considered this for MinnSpec. In fact, I checked my emails and I didn't even ask to be on this panel, so I'm not sure why they put me on it. I'll have things to bring to the panel, so that's cool, I was just a bit surprised to find myself listed.
