3 PM: Authors and Illustrators 

What are the What are the different considerations to keep in mind when you want to include art to your writing? How to illustrators work with authors? How can you do both at the same time? How do these things come together, and how do they come in conflict? This panel explores the relationship between author and illustrator.Susu Leclerc, Kristen Kiomall-Evans, Brianna Tosswill, Talhi Briones

SUNDAY June 7th

1:30 PM: Speculating on Queer Worlds

Many writers are now taking the important step of including LGBTQ+ representation in their fiction–but what does it mean to build queer worlds? This panel will include discussions on the assignment of gender, the need (or lack thereof) to include things like homophobia and transphobia in worldbuilding, “historical accuracy”, and what we imagine queer futures to look like.

Avi Silver, Kate Heartfield, MJ Lyons, SL Huang, Talhi Briones, Talia C. Johnson

6:30 PM: Lost in Translation

How does translating a book affect the way it’s perceived? What makes translation limiting, and what makes it an enriching experience?

Chih-Ying Lay, Talhi Briones, Su J Sokol
