SFWA Nebula Weekend Schedule
May. 28th, 2015 01:28 pmOkay, confession time. When I got an email about this awhile back, I just figured that it was a general sort of pro-level con invite and expressed interest in 2 panels, thinking I might get one, maybe. Not because of professional or personal inadequacy, mind you, but because there's a lot of high-powered and famous people at this particular gathering and I'm fairly realistic about my level of fame and glory in the field at the present time (for perspective, apparently the Printer's Row Bookfair LitFest declined to accept anyone from SFWA for programming, so there you go).. But low and behold, just saw the new schedule and I got on both panels. In any case, there's a lot of great programming and field trips and other good stuff. I've been to one previous Nebula Weekend, and it was great for networking and learning, so if you're in the Chicago area next week, I recommend it.

Writing Gender and Sexuality–Gender is more complex than the Western cultural norm of binary gender (female and male); there are more sexual orientations than just the L and G in QUILTBAG. People who don’t fit into narrow conceptions of binary gender and monosexuality exist in our present, have existed in our past, and will exist in our futures. In this discussion panelists explore how this affects character creation, common plot pitfalls, and the use of language. Panelists: Alexandra Duncan, Catherine Lundoff, Michael Thomas (M), Alyssa WongSaturday:
