Laurel Anne Hill Meets “Women of Wonder” (Laurel’s Schedule at BayCon 2015)

Hi everyone!  I’m looking forward to BayCon (http://baycon.org/bcwp/) this coming weekend (May 22-24). The theme this year is “Women of Wonder.” Here’s my official schedule:

 1. Themed Reading: Women’s Work on Friday (5/22) at 3:00 PM in Stevens Creek.  (Amy Sterling Casil, Marie Brennan, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff and Laurel Anne Hill)  In honor of the Bicentennial of Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, hear authors read from stories about women that have jobs in a STEM (science, technical, engineering, and math) field.

2. Horror Addicts Panel and Celebration of Horror Addicts Guide to Life Friday (5/22) 8:30 PM in Stevens Creek.

3. Research: How and Why on Saturday (5/23) at 2:30 PM in Stevens Creek. (D. M. Atkins, Juliette Wade, Nick Kanas, Laurel Anne Hill, Fred Wiehe (M))   Do we really write what we know?

4. Writing Humorous SF/F/H on Saturday (5/23) at 4:00 PM in Lawrence. (Sarah Kuhn, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, Griffin Barber, Laurel Anne Hill)  Writing science fiction, fantasy, or horror is hard enough, making it funny adds another level of difficulty. Is there such a thing as comedic timing when the joke is written instead of spoken? How can you tell when you’ve taken a joke too far? The panelists describe some of the pitfalls and provide some tips on writing humorous stories within the SF/F/H genres.

5. Writers’ Workshop on Sunday (5/24) Laurel Anne Hill will serve as a mentor at the Sunday morning writers’ workshop. This is a closed workshop, that is, open only to workshop leaders and those who submitted manuscripts for evaluation.

In between my above assignments, you’ll often be able to find me at the HORROR ADDICTS fan table.

Hope to see some of you there.

Warm wishes,

Laurel Anne Hill
