Join us as we discuss many of the issues facing women in gaming today, including how our gaming styles differ from men, what roles we play within our gaming groups, issues of respect at the game table, and how to attract more women to gaming. The women convening this seminar have many years of combined knowledge in nearly every form of gaming and we want to hear from you. Be ready to participate in an active discussion. Bring your own topics!
Bring your questions. This is a Q&A, and we'll tackle things you might have missed in earlier panels or didn't get covered. We'll talk about whatever is on your mind.
Gee, if only there was a place where I could talk about my writing. I've tried my mom, my siblings, my spouse, and the barista at Starbucks. I need a place where I will be encouraged, but still critiqued, a place where I can learn. I need a writer's group. Where can I find one? How should it be run? All will be revealed.
What makes a successful writer? Work ethic? Luck? Are you born to write, or can you make yourself a writer? Our panelists discuss their approach to the craft and offer advice on improving your skills and productivity.
How do you break in? Is it tough to write for kids? Panelists discuss the differences and similarities between the adult and YA market, how to approach your writing, and the publishing opportunities. Do you have the next Harry Potter simmering in your brain?
Want to write for Paizo? Want a crack at the hobby games industry? Stop by this panel to get an inside look on how it's done and learn how you could one day write for Paizo Publishing.
Is there more to your story than can fit into one book? Or is it the other way around . . . do you have too much material for your tale and need to cut a few hundred pages? Our panelists will tackle trilogies and open-ended series, including how to approach writing the multi-part saga and how to market it.
