Atlanta: Tim Byrd @ DragonCon & Decatur Book Fest

For those in (or coming to) Atlanta, I'll be making appearances at two big events on Labor Day weekend (Sep. 4-7).

I'll be hopping back and forth between DragonCon in downtown Atlanta and the Decatur Book Festival in (you guessed it) Decatur all weekend.

At DragonCon, I'll be on these panels:

Writing for the YA and Children's Market

Time: Sun 11:30 am Location: Manila / Singapore / Hong Kong - Hyatt (Length: 1)

Description: How to write for an audience that's half your age--or less. Tapping into the minds of today's young people--what DO they want to read?

The Future of Fantastic Fiction

Time: Mon 04:00 pm Location: Manila / Singapore / Hong Kong - Hyatt (Length: 1)

Description: What lies ahead for the S/F, Fantasy and Horror genres? Can we forecast trends or should we just jump on the bandwagon?

At the Decatur Book Festival, I'll be appearing along with author David Lubar at 4:30 pm Saturday on the Target Children's Stage.

And I'll be wandering both events with no real planning all weekend.

Books will be available at the DBF for signing after the appearance, and signed copies of the book will also be available the whole weekend at Little Shop of Stories on Decatur Square. I'm going to try to have some on hand for random buyers at DragonCon.

I hope to see as many current and potential Doc Wilde fans at both events as I can.
