This coming weekend, May 5-7, I plan to speak at DemiCon, the science fiction convention in Des Moines, Iowa. I grew up in Iowa, so it will serve as a homecoming of sorts.
Here’s my schedule for that weekend:
Friday
6 pm AI Meets SF (with David Pedersen and Jan Gephardt)
Saturday
10 am Iowa in SF (with Adam Whitlatch and Lettie Prell)
12 pm Can Writers Benefit from Being Editors? (with Adam Whitlatch)
2 pm Steve Southard Reading
3 pm Pandemics Through History, Their Effects on Literature (with Jan Gephardt)
9 pm Character Changes: From Unlikable to Likable
Sunday
12 pm Gadgets in SF (with Jan Gephardt)
I’ve never been to DemiCon and it looks like there’s a lot to enjoy, even many events that don’t include me. The full schedule is here and you can register for the con here.
You’re thinking—with so many other things to do in Iowa, why go to a scifi convention? That question answers itself.
C’mon to DemiCon. If nothing else, it’s a good chance for you to meet the literary phenomenon everyone calls—
