It’s almost time for one of my favorite conventions of the year! Readercon is happening in less than two weeks and I’m super excited to see old friends and meet new people. Frankly, these days, community is more important than ever before.

This year I’m on a few panels, plus, I have a reading and a kaffeeklatsch. Here’s the schedule:

• Reading: A.T. Greenblatt – Friday, July 18, 2025, 14:30 EST
  • Room: Empower / Embrace
• Kaffeeklatsch: A. T. Greenblatt – Friday, July 18, 2025,18:00 EST
  • Room: Suite 830
• Panel: Recycling, Reusing and Renewing Stories – Saturday, July 19, 2025, 10:00 EST
  • Room: Salon G/H
  • Description: At last year’s Readercon, Max Gladstone said that he modeled his Craft Sequence on Samuel R. Delany’s principle that the answer from one book in a series should become the problem of the next book. Some authors like to take multiple runs at the same story premise. What other ways do authors revisit their own work, what uses can that serve, and what are the pitfalls?
  • With: Gwynne Garfinkle, Marisca Pichette Max Gladstone P. Djèlí Clark
• Panel: We Demand Stories About U.S. Policy – Sunday, July 20, 2025, 11:00 EST
  • Room: Create / Collaborate
  • Description: We Demand Stories is Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers’ limited series salon. AI, eco-fiction, near future space exploration, post-Tolkien (postcolonial) world building, and death: BSFW takes on these topics and more with writers and academics who can broaden our understanding beyond the fear-driven news feed. After very brief readings from panelists, this salon invites the audience to join in a uniquely formatted conversation about U.S. policy. What are the many ways it affects the stories we’re telling now, or want to talk about in the future? 
  • With: Beto O’Byrne, Bradley Robert Parks, BrightFlame, Rachel Gutin, and Rob Cameron

As always, if you are going to be at Readercon this year, please don’t hesitate to come say hello!
