Some of you may be familiar with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, an organization for the education and promotion of speculative fiction writers across the globe and host of the Nebula Awards. Every year, SFWA hosts those awards at their Nebula Conference, and this year the conference is extending into fall with the brand new Quasar Event, running virtually November 15th and 16th.

I will be a panelist on Panel 1.3—Centering Wellness as Creators on Saturday, November 15th at 5:00 PM PDT alongside Eugen Bacon, Scott Edelman, and Vanessa Ricci-Thode.

One of the most important lessons writers learn over their careers is adaptation. There is no “one size fits all” for creative success, especially when each of us has a different relationship to disability, illness, and neuro-variation. What happens when that relationship is further changed mid-stream? When something that worked for you for years is now affected by new challenges? For Quasar, SFF creators share their experiences with adjusted workflows, and offer insight into centering wellness all along.

Folks who attended the Nebula Conference earlier this year will have free access the Quasar. For everyone else, the ticket price is $50 for the whole weekend. The event will have panels, workshops, office hours, and even a guided yoga break!

You can find more information and register for the event at the links below. I hope to see you there!
