Alright, let's get this self-publicity thing going!
I'll be at the Nine Worlds Convention in London on Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th of August 2016. I'm on two panels:
Saturday, 11:45am - 12:45am : How to Idea
Catriona Ward, Tom Lloyd, Lavie Tidhar, Emma Newman, Sam Wilson, Al Robertson
It's a weird and wonderful world, and necessity is the mother of invention - but how do you hone ideas, sort the good from the bad, tune them up and make them run? A nice ramble through the inspiration that struck these authors, and how they balanced creativity with logic.
Sunday, 10:00am - 11:00am : There IS Hope
Sam Wilson, Laurie Penny, Gavia Baker-Whitelaw, Anne Fortune, Big Punch Studio
It's easy, especially this year, to be swallowed by the doom and gloom. Even easier in the comic industry, a place where the sky has been falling for at least a decade but, somehow hasn't quite landed yet. So, there IS hope? Right? Come join our panel as they discuss what brings them joy in comics and how the industry has changed for the better.
