pre-Polaris report
I'm headed out to Polaris in Toronto in July, which is exciting. They have a long list of authors (18 at last count), so there should be plenty of action for literary geeks, which means I will be happily mired in bookworld from the 10th to the 12th. I even get to do a few panels, in which I will hopefully sound savvy and witty instead of like a total dork. I'm tentatively scheduled for the following:
-Print book vs E-book (which means I should probably look up some stats or something before I go)
-Writing for Children (YA is so huge right now, they have I think 4 or 5 panels devoted just to that)
-It Might Be Too Dark For You, but Your Kids Love It (about the current dark fantasy and horror trends in YA)
-Romance vs Erotica vs Porn (come on, you can't hear that title and not think it sounds interesting)
-Writers and Reviews (clearly I am not the writer perspective on this one)
Since there are writers coming out of the woodwork, most of these panels are stuffed full of panelists. I have horrible visions of myself sitting quietly through one of the ones that has five people on the panel and not saying a word. Then I realize I'm a freaking loudmouth and realize it likely won't be a problem.
Anyone else coming out to play?
