How
to Self-Pub Your Manuscript
You've
written a book! Yay! Now what? If you want to go the indie route
rather than traditional publishing, you have options. Author Angela
Highland (_Rebels of Adalonia_ trilogy, _Free Court of Seattle_
series) shares her path to independent publishing, and what has and
has not worked for her. Bring your questions and any experience you
have to share!
2-2:50
pm: How
To Draw A Horse Right, Damnit.
Donna Barr reprises a classic from San Diego Comicon. Bring paper and
pencil or tablets so you can follow along. Will give instructions
upon request, so if you want to know about centaurs and ponies, just
ask. The more drawings she does, the more she'll have to hand out at
the end of the panel. Nonsense will abound. This will be filmed and
posted on YouTube. Linda Medley says she's going to lead off with How
To Draw A Horse Badly,
dedicated to Josh Whedon. Not that I believe she can.

Gregory shows everyone how to draw our favorite house tigers, as

Building
a Geekmusic Festival
A
talk and conversation with Dara Korra'ti about nwc MUSIC, the
geekmusic festival she started at Norwescon. How did it get started,
and given that she's just handed it off to a new generation of event
runners, where is it going? And how would someone else go about
building a similar event?
4-4:50:
Supervillain Songwriting Workshop
Want
to write a song? Ever wanted to write a song? Got a song started and
not sure where to go next? Bring your idea, or even idea about an
idea, to the Supervillain Songwriting Workshop, and we'll bang on it
and see if we can't get you moving. Solarbird the Lightbringer of
Crime and the Forces of Evil will also give a short talk at the
beginning about music theory, physics, and neurology, because that's
just how she rolls.
