As promised, here’s the second post of the weekend. I’ll be at Capclave on Sept. 29th – Oct 1st. As always, I’m so excited and it’ll be wonderful to meet up with old friends and make new ones.

Here’s my schedule:

  • Rejections Happen – Saturday, Sept 30th @ 10am EST
    • The life of a writer involves hearing many variations of the word “no.” Rejection comes with the territory but that does not make it easier to experience. Panelists discuss coping with rejection, how to continue writing through them, and what you can learn from receiving a no.
    • Panelists: A. T. Greenblatt, Ef Deal, Nate Hoffelder, R. Z. Held, Scott Edelman
  • Author Reading: A.T. Greenblatt – Saturday, Sept 30th @ 12pm EST
    • Don’t know what I’ll read yet. Open to suggestions.
  • Friendships in Science Fiction and Fantasy – Sunday, Sept 30th @ 10am EST
  • Writing Through Adversity – Sunday, Sept 30th @ 11:30am EST
    • Writing is hard enough but writers are also full human beings dealing with obstacles that can make it difficult to maintain a creative practice. From financial and family responsibilities to chronic pain and other mental and physical challenges, panelists talk openly about coping with daily pressures that often interfere with one’s writing life
    • Panelists:  A. T. Greenblatt, R. Z. Held, Samantha Katz, Sarah Avery, Scott Edelman

If you’re going to be at Capclave this year, please come say hi!

New Class Available at the Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers!

This is the first of two posts coming this weekend. Also, the first of a series of posts about writing related news over the next few weeks.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be teaching a new class on Oct 14th, 2023 called “Hitting the Road: How to Send Your Characters on a Road Trip.” It will be about 2 hours long and will be held online. There will also be a recorded version available if the timing doesn’t work for you. There’s also scholarships for students.

This is a completely new class for me and while I’ve taught a few classes for Clarion West Online and this summer at the Alpha Writing Workshop for Teens, this will be my first time teaching at The Rambo Academy for Wayward Writers. I love journey stories (if you couldn’t tell from my work) and if you do too, I hope you consider signing up for the class!
