My Worldcon Schedule at Chicon 7
Worldcon (aka Chicon 7) starts in a few days, and I'm excited to be speaking on panels about science fiction & fantasy written for young adults as well as the speculative fiction of China and India. AND I'll be giving a reading! To say I'm nervous is a vast understatement. But, at the same time, it will be an experience!
My first-ever Worldcon Reading will be on Friday morning August 31 @ 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM in Dusable. I will bring some sort of delicious treat to reward (not bribe!) the awesome people (or person) who show up.
