I’m delighted to have been invited back to Capclave as a participant this year. After making significant progress this year in returning to writing and submitting short stories throughout these chronic health woes and the all encompassing demands of parenting two kiddos, I’m feeling confident and thrilled to be on programming again.
My schedule is fantastic. I’m especially excited about the panel on Mindfulness. I haven’t seen programming cover this topic before in other cons – I hope people find it helpful and informative.

Eric Bakutis, Andy Duncan, Kelly Dwyer, LH Moore, Alex Shvartsman Anthologies are an excellent opportunity for writers to get their work out to new readers. Where to look for submission opportunities, how to write to a theme, tips on catching the editor’s eye (in a good way), and a what-not-to-do list are some of the things to be addressed. |

Come and join us! Capclave was my first writer’s convention. It’s intimate in size and congenial, filled with professionals in all aspects of the field and has quality programming for such a smaller sized convention.
