JordanCon Schedule 2015

Once again, I am honored to be a special guest of JordanCon, the fantasy literature convention founded in honor of the late Robert Jordan.

As you’ll see, I have a very full convention schedule. In addition to my typical role as academic-who-appreciates-fantasy, I’ll also be squeezing The Shards of Heaven into every conversation I can. You’ve been warned!

4:00 PM Writers Track – Writing Genre Non-Fiction.

There is an entire world that inspires and informs our writing, and sometimes, people like to write about that too. (with Todd McCaffrey and Anthony Taylor)

5:30 PM Writers Track – Query Letters.

A discussion over what to include in your query letter and how to approach publishers and agents as a newer author in general. (with Diana Pho)
