Now that the preliminary programme for WorldCon 75 has been released, I can tell you that I will be in two panel discussions. If you want to hear what I and the other panelists have to say about these subjects (and see what I look like when I’m not an eggship), please join us.
Flash Fiction Online
Thursday Aug 10, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Messukeskus, 206
Flash fiction, fiction of very few words, suits very well being published online. The panelists discuss their favorite online media for publishing and reading drabbles, dribbles and sudden fiction.
New Publishing
Friday Aug 11, 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Messukeskus, 206

Sunday Aug 13, 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Messukeskus, 207
