Due to the constraints of finances, childcare, health, and neurotype, I have not been much of a con-goer. The last convention I attended was Readercon in 2013. I am attending a con this year, and I am looking forward with pleasure and trepidation. The con is the Nebula Conference, and I am one of the Nebula Award nominees this year. And, unexpectedly but very happily, Bogi Takács will be able to come with me to the convention!

I am looking forward to meeting many excellent people face-to-face. I will also be on programming. My items are:

Friday, May 13

1:00pm

Historical Research from the Margins with Michael Livingston • Alyx Dellamonica • Eileen Gunn • Rose Lemberg • Ada Palmer • Helene Wecker

3:00pm
Language as Rebellion with Daniel José Older • Rose Lemberg • Kelly Robson • Tamara Vardomskaya

8:00pm – 9:30pm
Mass Autographing

For the autographing, I will be bringing copies of Marginalia to Stone Bird and, almost certainly, An Alphabet of Embers.

Will I see you there? 🙂

P.S. If you’re planning to come and would like to hang out and/or talk to me, it would be great if you could let me know beforehand – a comment or a twitter DM work best.

P.P.S. I feel good about my accessibility needs during the con, especially since Bogi is coming, but just as a hands up, I do tend to get drained/overwhelmed/dizzy and I have mobility issues which can flare up.
