This weekend is Ravencon! I’ll be back at the con as a guest again this year, although the con itself will be in a new site at the DoubleTree in Williamsburg Virginia. I hope you’ll be able to go to Ravencon, and if you do go, here is where you can find me.
Friday
4 PM: READING: DOC COLEMAN Room J – 50 minutes
6 PM: WHEN ROBOTS DO EVERYTHING, WHAT WILL PEOPLE DO? Room F – 50 minutes

10 PM: TIME TRAVEL: ESSENTIAL BOOKS AND STORIES Room E – 50 minutes

Saturday
10 AM: SELF-PUBLISHING DOESN’T MEAN SOLO PUBLISHING Room E – 50 minutes
Just because a book is self-published doesn’t mean that the author hasn’t had help. From editing to cover art to book design to marketing, self-published authors often look for assistance, especially when they recognize their own weaknesses. Panelists: Doc Coleman, GB MacRae, Alex Matsuo, Christine McDonnell (M)
3 PM: WHAT MAKES A GOOD COMPANION? Room G – 50 minutes
The who and what of traveling with The Doctor. Join other Doctor Who fans to discuss what makes a great companion onscreen and offscreen. What kind of person do we enjoy traveling with The Doctor? Let’s discuss the who’s who (no pun intended) of our favorite and least-favorite companions. Panelists: Doc Coleman, Jenny Hendricks, Nicki Lynch, Angela Pritchett (M), Susan Zee
5 PM: PODCASTING Room G – 50 minutes
What goes into the making of a successful podcast? How do the podcasters figure out the tone of their show from the technical to artistic details? How do you make it stand out from the rest? Panelists: Doc Coleman, Alex Matsuo (M), Saucy, Amy H. Sturgis
