This is your two week warning! I’m around DCC the whole time and a busy little writer as you can see! I also have three signings sprinkled in so come by the booth for a chat. When I’m not in a signing or panel, I will be wandering or may be at one of the Hyatt bars.

To Plot or Not
10:30
Coast City Room – Mile High Ballroom DCCP6
Few things get writers into friendly arguments: maybe Apple vs Android, or Trad vs Indie. But a big one is plotting verses "pantzing" our work. So this panel will hash it out once and for all. We’ll discuss pros and cons of each method and what works and doesn’t work for them. (MOD) Betsy C. Dornbusch Travis Heerman LJ Hachmeister Sylvain Neuvel Naomi Novik David Pedreira Jessica Pennington
Best Baddies are More Than the Hero of Their Own Story
11:30
Room 405 – Authors
The best baddies are more than just the hero of their own story. They are a careful balance of darkness, desire, and fun. When developing a villain, how does a creator navigate the tightrope of making them powerful, yet flawed; charming, yet diabolical? Bring your favorite antagonists and the panel will break down the strengths and weaknesses that went into building memorable characters. (MOD) Betsy C. Dornbusch Travis Heerman Veronica Calisto Scott Beckman Peter V. Brett Scott Bergstrom Christina Henry
How does the Hero/ine save the [Endangered Item]?
3:00
Keystone City Room – Mile High Ballroom DCCP4
Storytelling began long before we journeyed to a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and since that time, there have been teachers around to tell writers how we’re doing it wrong. Aristotle, E.B. White, Joseph Campbell, Robert McKee, Steven King, and Blake Snyder have all taken a shot at explaining the best way to tell a story. Now, it’s our turn. Join this panel of writers as they describe storytelling as they see it.

Magic in Books, Life & Real World
5:30
Room 402/403 – Authors
Powerful magic realistically would infiltrate every aspect of life and culture. Writers discuss how they create magic systems that affect the senses, habits, work, play, illnesses, communication, fighting, and loving of their characters and worlds (and how they keep it all consistent!)

Veterans of the Writing Wars
1:00
Room 406/407 – Authors
The path to creative success is filled with landmines: mastering craft, relationships with other creators and your industry, stumbling blocks to your first sale (and every sale thereafter!) Come hear tales of narrow escapes, dare, and beware from a panel of seasoned veterans of the writing wars. (MOD) Travis Heerman Betsy C. Dornbusch Peter V. Brett Annalee Newitz Edgar Cantero Guy Anthony
Alternate Futures
3:00
Room 406/407 – Authors
Creators love to toy with the past for time travel, alternate realities and secret histories stories. Black Sails, Outlander (both books and TV,) Vikings, and Timeless have successfully rewritten history. And yet, SFF also tells many stories of the future, mining the past for clues to what will happen in cultures years from now. What are the expectations around writing the future? What is fair game to change or add (or subtract)? The panelists will discuss the "rules" and when we get to break them, and the research they do to create a believable world of the future.

We’ll discuss how they differ from novels in writing and in the marketplace; submissions, rejections, and the business of anthologies and magazines; and give you some insider tips on writing and selling your stories.
