Convention weekend: I’ll be at Capclave in Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 29 to October 1. It’s a smaller, powerful convention that tends to focus on short fiction.

If you’re looking for me, I will be (as always) tethered to the Fantastic Books table in the dealers’ room (open Friday from 3 to 6pm, Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and Sunday from 10am to 2pm).

I’ll also be on programming

Friday at 5:30 pm in the Wilson room: “Exquisite Corpse Writing Challenge” with Hildy Silverman, Richard Peter Haviland Sparks, and Mary G. Thompson

Friday at 7:00 pm in the Washington Theater: “Anthology Builder” with Neil Clarke, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Mike McPhail, Neil Clarke, and Alex Shvartsman

Friday at 10:00 pm in the Wilson room: “The Writer’s Toolkit” with Ken Altabef, Morgan Hazelwood, Mike McPhail, and Adeena Mignogna

Saturday at 10:00 pm in the Washington Theater: “The Eye of Argon and the Further Adventures of Grignr the Barbarian” with Hildy Silverman, Michael A. Ventrella, and perhaps some other special guest
