FANTASYCON GLASGOW and MCMC COMICON LONDON
Posted on
I'll be at both the above venues this month. Fantasy con from the 18th of October and Comicon in Author corner on the 26th or 27th, maybe both. Not 100% sure yet.
Here's my Fantasycon Schedule.

Medical, social, fantastical: models of disability in fantasy narratives. Friday 6:00 PM
The panel explores the different ways that societies disable people in fiction, the impact of world-changing fantasy events on the physical and mental health of characters, and how mental health disabilities can be successfully and respectfully included within a narrative.

Public speaking for authors Saturday 10 AM – 11:30:00 AM (workshop)
Oh sure you can sling words on a page, but public speaking? Whole different ball game. Where the ball is on fire and looking at you. Fear not! We know you’ve got the walk down, let us show you how to talk the talk.
