My Boskone 46 Schedule
Friday 10:30pm Independence: Reading
(nice time slot!) Free stuff if you show up for my reading!
Saturday 10am Harbor 2:
Men Writing Women
What is it about "strong female protagonists" that appeals to so many male authors? (And what do they think is "stong?") ((And, why don't they ever write about "weak female protagonists", huh?) Does gender (of author or character?) make a difference, anyway?
Chris Howard, Paul Melko (m), Joshua B. Palmatier, Alisa Kwitney Sheckley, Joel Shepherd
Saturday 12noon Burroughs:
New Publishing/Marketing Technologies
Ebooks. Print-on-demand. Podcasts. What else? A discussion of what kinds of new technological break-throughs are available to authors today, their advantages and disadvantages-and why bother with them?!
Darlene Marshall (m), Chris Howard, James Patrick Kelly, Dani Kollin, Eytan Kollin, Shane Tourtellotte
Sunday 10am Carlton:
Clothing Design in SF and Fantasy Art
Can you be an artist and not care about clothes? Which artists shine at depicting fabrics, textures, and modeling? How have TV and movies influenced genre costume depiction? How much research goes into medieval couture for a high-fantasy piece? What's the well-dressed man, woman, or alien of the future wearing these days?
Alan F. Beck, Chris Howard, Elaine Isaak (m), Margaret Organ-Kean, Ruth Sanderson
Sunday 12noon Carlton:
Drawing With a Mouse
In brief, two main questions: (1) Is it really art? (2) How is it done?
Alan F. Beck, Chris Howard, Stephan Martiniere, David R. Seeley (m)
Sunday 2pm Autographs:
Autographing
Chris Howard, Ann Tonsor Zeddies
