I will be at Cosine this weekend down in Colorado Springs! I’ll have a table in the dealer’s room with all of my nifty books, as well as subscriptions to Story of the Month Club. I’ll also be on some cool panels. Check out the list below, then stop by and say hello!
Friday
5:00 – 6:00 pm Media Reboots: Breathing New Life into Old Shows
With TV and movie writers rarely able to think up new ideas, the reboot of an old popular TV show or movie has become increasingly popular. Which ones have worked or failed? What would you do if given the chance to reboot an old show? Which series or movie is ripe for rebooting?
Panelists: David Boop, Jessica Brawner, Nikki Hohl, Thea Hutcheson, Cary Quinn (M)
Saturday
2:00 – 3:00 pm British Science Fiction: Books and Media
Doctor Who and its spinoff Torchwood have been very popular in the US for many years. What British SF is worth reading or watching? Does it differ from American science fiction at all?
Panelists: Jessica Brawner (M), Nikki Hohl, Dina Leacock, Paul Lell, Cary Quinn
Sunday
11:00 – 12:00 pm NaNoWriMo
National novel writing month happens in November every year, and is a challenge to write a novel of 50,000 words in a month. It has its own website and participants from around the world. What is it like to participate in? Do books written for NaNoWriMo get published? Does it help with motivation? How much support is offered once you have finished writing?
