The Art of Book Covers in 2024   (1 Hour - Expert Panel)
Despite publishing being 500 years old, the past 20 years have seen more changes to the landscape of publishing than any other time in history. E-books, print on demand, self-publishing, BookTok - things evolve at a breakneck pace, and even for readers keeping up can be a challenge. Yet despite the constant evolution, book covers remain one of the most important marketing aspects for any book. The tools and aesthetic may have changed, but a book cover can make or break whether a book rises to the top, or gets swept away in an oversaturated market. We will go over the current state of book covers, technical considerations, how to create or commission a cover, and how niche genres play a role for both authors and readers.

Through a Side Door: Speculative Stories and Moving Through Trauma   (1 Hour - Round Table Discussion - Rating: PG-13)
Since their inception, science fiction and fantasy have used allegory as a way to process through and expose the issues of their era. Classic stories like 1984 have been lauded as predicting the future, when in reality they reflect cyclical issues plaguing the author's time. Speculative fiction is also a shorthand for creators to process through traumatic experiences with distance. By camouflaging what they endured through the avatars of unicorns and space pirates, the reality of that pain becomes clearer even if the face and shape is different. In this roundtable discussion, creators as well as fans talk through how speculative fiction has helped them come to terms with their pasts and the uncertainty of the future.
Participants:Rue Sparks, John F. Allen, Will Sobel
