My Arisia 2014 schedule

is brief and will allow for wacky things that I seldom get to do at cons, like laze about, read, go to panels and hang out with friends (and possibly holing up in the room to work on revisions), maybe even see some of Boston. I'm so looking forward to this! If you're going to be there, please let me know. :-)
Full con schedule and info is here:

Saturday, January 18th -

8:30 PM The Unheard Voices of SF/F/H — Literature, Panel — 1hr 15min — Adams (3W)

What amazing voices and stories are we missing out on in science fiction, fantasy, and horror due to lack of representation, support, or a myriad of other things? What are some things that suppress/oppress different voices and stories? What is being done to boost the signal of women, authors of color, and QUILTBAG authors? What can readers do to find these voices? Members of Broad Universe, the Carl Brandon Society, and Outer Alliance discuss these issues and more in a lively panel discussion.

Andrea Hairston, Catherine Lundoff (m), Victor Raymond PhD, Julia Rios, Nisi Shawl, Trisha Wooldridge
