Our 11th Annual! How did that happen?!

Against the odds, the 11th annual Broadleaf Writers Conference will take place this coming weekend — September 19-20 — at the Decatur Library (in downtown Decatur, GA). Okay, I’m being dramatic — the odds have been pretty good all along, because we have amazing people running it and amazing attendees who keep coming back. If you’ve never been, come along! If you’ve been before, come on back!

It’s full of panels, workshops, writers, agents, editors and your fellow attending writers from all genres. It’s a great way to find other word-crafters to hang with. Let’s be honest, writing can be a lonely business, so it’s best to find the others and trade tips.

I’ll be there both days. On Saturday, I’ll be helping out here and there, and on Sunday, I’ll be a panelist: 

“The F Word: Fantasy, Fairytales, and Folklore” 
(11:45am)
Panelists: Bill Bridges, Milton Davis, H.D. Hunter, Van Jensen
Moderator: Shay Rodricks
Fantasy, Fairytales, and Folklore-the F words lure in readers to mystical and magical realms. In this panel, we will discuss the importance of fantasy worlds, incorporating fairytales and folklore into your storytelling, and all the magical niches in between.

Now that the madness of Dragon Con is over, I can turn my attention to the upcoming 10th-Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference, this September 20-21 at the Decatur Library in downtown Decatur, GA. I’ll be moderating a panel:

What a World
Panelists: Tra Battle, Paul Jenkins
Moderator: Bill Bridges
The world of your story determines everything, from the weather to how the characters behave. It becomes even more complex when you’re writing within an existing framework. From fan fiction to a place of your own creation, how do you write authentically in a world that is already built? Join our panelists as they discuss which rules should be followed, which ones can be bent, and where your creativity can take the wheel.
