Here’s where you can find me at OryCon this weekend: 

Writing Beyond the Basics

October 17, 2025, 7:00pm-7:50pm PDT

Dig deeper into your writing, beyond placing characters in settings with a problem. Let’s talk about developing character voice, knowing your own voice, changing up pacing, how form follows function, sensory engagement, and more.

Panelists:  Theresa “Darklady” Reed, Katherine Quevedo, Jake Stein, Benny Loy, M. P. Hopcroft

Pacing Your Story

October 18, 2025, 7:00pm-7:50pm PDT

Speed the story up, raise the stakes, increase the tension, or slow it down to dive deeper. But not too often. Readers, like runners, want to keep moving, but can’t handle a constant rush. What techniques, large and small, make your story a marathon, not a sprint?

Panelists:  HL Bernabe, Katherine Quevedo, Manny Frishberg, Jake Stein
