WisCon!

I'm coming to WisCon, and here's my schedule:

Saturday, 2:30 pm
We Want Your Children: Writing to Recruit
Children's literature can be a powerful force for feminist ideas—and under some circumstances, can fly right under the radar and into the hands of the children of the Other Side. How do you write subversively for children without turning the books into (boring) propaganda? What books are successfully bringing feminist (or other progressive) ideas to an unsuspecting audience even as we speak? And what do we do (as parents, teachers, or librarians) about the books out there that are attempting to corrupt our children with their ideas?
Mod: Sharyn November. Other participants: Sigrid Ellis, Nnedi Nkemdili Okorafor, Susan Ramirez

Sunday, 2:30 pm
Young Writer Q&A
If you're a writer under age 18, you may have a set of questions that most writing 101 books and panels don't typically answer. Should you mention in cover letters that you're a freshman in high school? Is there a way to mention your fiction writing in your college applications if you haven't actually sold anything? Should aspiring writers major in English? Where can you find people who will give you feedback on your writing without being patronizing? This panel is designed for young writers, college–age and under. (Panelists may be older, but we all started young.)
Mod: Kelly Jones. Other participants: Vylar Kaftan, Alena McNamara, Diana Sherman

Monday, lunchtime-ish: The SignOut.
