my WisCon schedule
May. 23rd, 2023 03:23 pmWisCon fast approaches! I don't think I've ever had such a packed convention schedule, but it's my first in-person con since 2019, so I guess I'll be making up for lost time. I haven't left Los Angeles since 2019, and I really don't remember how to travel!
Here's Where the Story Ends
Capitol B ● The Craft and Business of Writing ●
Sat 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM CDT
Why is it so hard to stick the landing? We'll discuss where to end a novel, how much denouement to give the characters, and other questions of wrapping things up.

More Celebrating Jewish SF/F
Capitol A ● Spirituality, Organized Religion and Politics ●
Sun 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM CDT
Nu, can a little more celebration hurt? So we celebrated last year already. Is more celebrating a crime? Let's get together to celebrate Judaism in SF/F! We'll talk about and recommend our favorite authors, favorite characters, and favorite Jewish-inflected tropes and stories.
#JewishSFF
Benjamin Rosenbaum, Gwynne Garfinkle, Eden Robins, Lisa Cohen (m)
Bad Representation Done Well
Capitol A ● Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction ●
Sun 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM CDT
We don't want to be confined to lazy negative stereotypes, but we don't want to be represented
only by practically perfect cinnamon rolls either. What makes for good bad representation? How do you approach this as a writer? What morally complex, flawed, messy characters have made you a very happy reader?
#BadRepDoneWell
Evelyn Browne (m), Gwynne Garfinkle, Elizabeth Holden
The Seductions of Research
University B ● The Craft and Business of Writing ●
Sun 2:30 PM - 3:45 PM CDT
Some fictional projects don't require much research; others invite days spent on JSTOR, google-translating badly OCR'd microfiche, or in dusty library stacks, emerging bleary-eyed clutching a few telling details...or regretting a fool's errand. What are the trials, temptations, frustrations and pleasures of researching for writing, and how do we avoid falling forever down rabbit holes?
#SeductionsOfResearch
Gwynne Garfinkle, H.M. (Heather) Bouwman (m), Evelyn Browne
