Gen Con or Bust!

Hi everybody!

Next up for my event circuit in 2025, we've got Gen Con this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a long weekend, running from Thursday to Sunday (who doesn't love to get away for a few days?) Secondly, instead of trading, I've been asked to run some events and classes, and participate in a number of panels, which is huge honor.

On Thursday you'll find me participating in:

So, You Want to Make an Anthology...
A panel that discusses the ins and outs of creating an anthology.

The Panel That Gets Everybody Sued
A group of us divulging our worst professional experiences - everything from convention disasters, to contract difficulties, to publishing nightmares.

Meet the Pros
Hang out with a huge group of writers, get your books signed, and revel in convention debauchery with us.

On Friday you'll find me participating in:

Coffee Klatch with Tim Waggoner and Stephen Kozeniewski (hey, that's me!)
Bring a drink, settle in, and let's talk!

All Good Things Come to an End
A writing-focused event that focuses on closing out stories and character arcs.

Revision 101
Trouble with editing and revising your own work? No problem! Join us as we cover this process.

On Saturday, you'll find me participating in:

Writing Horror When the Real Word Is Horrible
Why do we flock to horror when the real going gets tough? We might have some answers for you!

Ask me Anything - Publishers
A panel of publishers are here to answer any questions you have. About publishing, that is. Don't ask about my sleeping habits or anything weird...

From Battles to Fisticuffs
We're here to help you with constructing physical conflicts in your stories.

How to Create When the World is On Fire
Keeping a hold of that elusive muse when the real world around us smells like it's burning.


When: Thursday July 31st through Sunday 3rd August.
Where: ICCLOS, 100 S. Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225


It's going to be a great weekend, and although I won't have a trading table this time, you'll still be able to grab books off me and get your copies signed. I hope to see you there!
