Life, the Universe, & Everything XXIX, the symposium on science fiction and fantasy held annually at BYU, will be February 17-19, 2011. We have a new venue this year: the BYU Conference Center (better parking!). Registration is $25 at the door for the 3 day event, or there is a daily admission price; any student with a current ID can get in free.
This is the first Symposium at which I will participate as a panelist. As others have posted their schedules, I thought I'd post mine as well.

- SF-Fantasy-Horror Poetry: how does it differ from mainstream poetry in language, structures, devices
(Michael R. Collings, Charlene Harmon (M), Karen C. Evans)

- What Exactly Does an Editor Do, Anyway?
(Lisa Mangum, Suzanne Vincent, Stacy Whitman (M), Tristi Pinkston, Karen C. Evans, Dave Wolverton, LuAnn Staheli)
I am nervous about participating, especially alone. My husband is attending, but he gets to listen to all the panels. I have to look prepared and intelligent and calm and collected. That's a lot, isn't it?
I look forward to meeting people I've only Tweeted to, and to see all the fans and guests. It really is one of my favorite events of the year.
