Events in 2020: Laurel Anne Hill

2020 and COVID-19 have presented me (and millions upon millions of others) with challenges. I am well–so far–and so is my family. Yes, I was able to participate in RadCon again this year (Feb. 14-16, Pasco, WA), before the lockdown, and also serve as a faculty member at a West Coast Writers Conference at the end of that same month. All of my many subsequent in-person events this year have been cancelled.

During the West Coast Writers Conference, Author Solutions interviewed me. They have now divided that interview into short YouTube pieces. I’ll be posting those individual links on my blog.

I hope you are managing okay. My prayers are with all peoples of this earth.

2020:

The Greater Los Angeles Writers Conference, Online, August 7-15. Laurel will participate on a panel on Friday, August 14, 7:30 pm: Defining New Horizons. Is Speculative Fiction a Saturated Genre? More information at http://www.wcwriters.com/aglawc/program.html.
