Glynn and the Faolan’s Pen team are attending ConFusion 2020 in Detroit, MI! The con takes place from January 16-19 at the Sheraton Novi Hotel.
While there, Glynn will be taking part in panels, and we’ll also be hosting a reader meet up!
Independent Publishing – The Next Step
Friday, January 17, 4 PM
Manitou Room
In music, successful independent musicians created multimillion dollar empires and labels often built around just their own work. We’re starting to see independent authors do the same thing. Many independent authors make the leap to full time and wonder what comes after that. Successful indie writers gather to discuss what they did, whether they think it worked, and speculate on what would work now.
Panelists: Richard Shealy (M), Pablo Defendini, Glynn Stewart
Glynn Stewart Reader Meet Up
Friday, January 17, 7 PM – 8 PM
Sheraton Detroit NoVI – NoVI Craft House
Come meet Glynn and the Faolan’s Pen team! Note you don’t have to be attending ConFusion to come.
Interstellar Nations and Warfare: Space Opera Worldbuilding
Saturday, January 18, 11:00 AM
Manitou Room
Space Opera often features grand interstellar empires, and, of course, equally grand interstellar battles. But both empires and space battles are swimming upstream against economics, politics, and good ol’ fashioned physics. In the face of these scientific realities, how do we weave empires and space battles into our worldbuilding in a satisfying way?
Panelists: Glynn Stewart (M), Jenn Lyons, Karen Burnham, Maquel A. Jacob
Reading: Glynn Stewart, Dyrk Ashton, Dan Stout
Saturday, January 18, 2:00 PM
Saugatuck Room
Glynn will be reading from Conviction, the first book in the brand-new Shattered Stars universe (releasing January 28!)
Will we be able to view the Interstellar Nations and Warfare: Space Opera Worldbuilding section anywhere, either here or on patreon, if we can’t make it to Detroit for ConFusion?
