Office Hours

Feedback form is now closed.

Often the best conversations at a convention are the ones that carry over after a panel. Here we have provided a space for authors, editors, agents, and our partners to share their expertise in intimate meetings. These can either be a one-on-one about an area of expertise such as hypnotism, sailing, or contract law. Or it could be an offer to talk shop such as brainstorming sticky plot points, world-building dilemmas, or how to set up book tours.

On Friday, available topics are:
History, Digital Humanities, Online and Archival Research
Selling your books + growing sales on Apple / iBooks
How Do Grants Work
Writing, Editing, Querying, Nuclear Power
Copywriting, Freelancing, Cats
Patreon
Pronoun
Plot Whispering, Point of View, Worldbuilding, Romantic sub-plots, Cats
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
