Continuum 13

Hi all,

I will be attending Australia’s National Speculative Fiction convention, Continuum, in Melbourne next month, and I’m going to be a part of a number of different sessions.  Here’s the provisional list:

Saturday 10th June, 2pm | Fae in the City
A discussion about the urban fantasy genre with Amanda Pillar, Ju, Freya Marske, and Guest of Honour Seanan McGuire.
Saturday 10th June, 4pm | Genre Conventions
Talking about the distinction, or lack thereof, between genre and literary fiction, with Earl Livings, Laura Goodin, JS Breukelaar, and Likhain.
Sunday 11th June, 10am | Visual Storytelling: the Art and Science of Writing Comics (2 hours)
I will be conducting a workshop about how to write comics. Attendance is free, but places are limited, so please register here if interested.
Sunday 11th June, 6pm | Keyholes and Secret Doors

A discussion of children’s portal fantasy and what it means to grow up, as a reader, with Freya Marske, Paul Weimer , and Seanan McGuire.

Monday 12th June, 10:30amHorror in the 21st Century

I will be discussing current evolution of the horror genre with Claire Fitzpatrick, Kirstyn McDermott, and Michelle Goldsmith

Monday 12th June, 1pm | Humans are Special
Hespa, Kathryn Anderson, Michelle Goldsmith and I will investigate whether or not speculative fiction writers are human chauvinists.
That’s a pretty big con schedule for a quiet lad like me, so please feel free to shout encouragement from the sidelines if you’e attending! Unless you’re my Mom. In which case, don’t worry I will be sure to wear a warm jumper.
