A Final Plug for the Superstars of Writing Seminar
Categories: People In SF The Writing Process Writing Help ConventionsI thought I'd do one final plug for the Superstars of Writing seminar I've been invited to attend. The time is getting near—it's about three weeks away—and if there are those of you who are thinking of attending, you'll probably want to get flights pretty soon. Also, they've extended last month's special (the two people for $1200 deal) for another week or so. The current price of $750 for one person is good up until the day of, when the price jumps to something much higher at the door. Continue Reading...

Updates + Life, the Universe & Everything Schedule
Categories: Mistborn 3 Podcast ConventionsThis week I'll be the guest of honor at Life, the Universe & Everything, BYU's annual symposium on science fiction and fantasy. It's basically a convention with a fancier name (but there will be a few research papers presented), though most conventions aren't free like LTUE is. My schedule is below. But first, the weekly updates. Continue Reading...

Hugo nomination season, GoodReads Q&A, Pat Rothfuss's Worldbuilders charity drive, Updates
Categories: Warbreaker People In SF Mistborn 2 Mistborn 3 Wheel of Time Conventions Alcatraz 3 The Gathering StormThis year's World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) will be held in Melbourne, Australia from September 2nd through September 6th. Unfortunately, I won't be in attendance since I'll be going to Dragon*Con in Atlanta that same weekend. However, every year the members of Worldcon vote on and present the Hugo Awards, and I have three books that came out in 2009 that are eligible to be nominated in the Best Novel category: WARBREAKER (which you can download for free here—feel free to pass the link on to any Worldcon members you know!), ALCATRAZ VERSUS THE KNIGHTS OF CRYSTALLIA, and THE GATHERING STORM. My editors Moshe Feder and Harriet McDougal are eligible for nomination in the Best Editor, Long Form category, and artists Dan Dos Santos (for the WARBREAKER cover—which a fairly random blogger has just named the best cover for a 2009 SF book by an LDS writer) and Darrell K. Sweet (for the THE GATHERING STORM cover) are eligible in the Best Professional Artist category. (Technically I believe my MISTBORN 2 annotations are also eligible for a nomination in the Best Related Work category, since I finished with them back in April, but I haven't even considered that those might be worthy of recognition.) Any member of this year's or last year's Worldcon may nominate until March 13th, after which only members of the 2010 Worldcon will be able to vote on the final ballot. Continue Reading...
