I’m a panelist at the Gen Con Writer's Symposium, which starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday. R. A. Salvatore is the Author Guest of Honor and a ton of other great authors will also be attending, including Maurice Broaddus, C.S.E. Cooney, Mary Fan, Jaym Gates, LaShawn Wanak, Carlos Hernandez and many more.
The Writer’s Symposium is a tiny part of the larger Gen Con but it’s a great way to interact with authors and also get advice on writing and publishing your own works. Definitely check it out!
