Preliminary Program Grid for Mark RothThis is the Preliminary program schedule. Mark Roth may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention. |
| Friday 4:00 pm: Pick Your Poison: Standalone, Trilogy, or Series (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Eisenhower Participants:Bjorn Hasseler, Cathy Green (M), Joshua Palmatier, Mark Roth For reader and writer alike, there are strong opinions on the value of a story that is one and done versus settling into a universe and its characters for a while. Panelists discuss the benefits and challenges of each. When do you know that a story wants to be one or the other? Does writing individual stories set in the same universe count as a series? Are duologies becoming more common? |
| Saturday 4:00 pm: Writing in Other People's Universes (Ends at: 4:55 pm) Washington Theater Participants:Charles Gannon, Jean Marie Ward (M), Keith R.A. DeCandido, Mark Roth, Sunny Moraine Whether writing for comics, venturing into tie-in novels and other adaptive media, or championing fan fiction, writing good stories in a known world requires a unique skill set. Panelists discuss what it takes to create compelling narratives for a universe not their own and how to push the limits without crossing the guidelines of the borrowed universe. |
| Saturday 6:00 pm: Author Reading: Mark Roth (Ends at: 6:25 pm) Monroe Participants:Mark Roth Mark Roth reads from recent and upcoming works. |
