Schedule for Capclave 2023

On By A. T. GreenblattIn Convention SightingsLeave a comment

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!

Schedule for Capclave 2021

On By A. T. GreenblattIn Convention SightingsLeave a comment

It’s been a few weeks since my last post. I haven’t had much news to report – I’ve mostly been working on stories that will be published later this year or early 2022. If everything goes to plan, I’ll have 3 more stories coming out in 2021, the first of which is “Questions Asked in the Belly of the World” which will be published at Tor.com on September 29th!

In the meantime, I will be at Capclave on Oct. 1st – Oct 3rd. I’m so excited and it’ll be wonderful to meet up with old friends and make new ones.

Here’s my schedule:

  • Non Traditional Protagonists – Saturday, Oct 2nd @ 11am EST
    • Description: The typical protagonist is an unmarried young white male (or more recently female). But what about protagonists who don’t fit this mold. What about older characters, non-white characters, and characters with disabilities or handicaps? How does changing the protagonist change the story? And are there stories that require such a character to be told?
    • Panelists: Peter S. Beagle, Mary Fan, A. T. Greenblatt, J. S. Kelley, Jennifer Povey (M)
  • Why Write Short Stories – Saturday, Oct 2nd @ 12pm EST
  • Author Reading – Saturday, Oct 2nd @ 3:30pm EST
    • Don’t know what I’ll read yet. Open to suggestions.

If you’re going to be at the conference, please feel free to come and say hello!

Upcoming Live Readings in March

On By A. T. GreenblattIn Convention SightingsLeave a comment

The nice thing about the pandemic is that I can have two readings in one week half a continent away from each other. The downside is I would love to be in both Toronto and Orlando right now. But either way, I’m excited for both of these events next week.

The first event is on March 17th, at 7pm for the Ephemera Reading series in Toronto. The theme is joy, which I think I can find a story for. I’ll be reading with Curtis Chen and Rebecca Hirsch Garcia. I’m thrilled to be a part of this reading series!

The second event is for the convention ICFA which is usually in Orlando every year, except this year it will be online. I’ll be reading with Richard Butner and Gregory Norman Bossert on March 20th, at 9 pm EST. I’ve always enjoyed reading at ICFA, so I’m looking forward to this event too.

Hope to *see* you there.
