1pm: Ideas Panel

In both the online and in-person festivals, I (Morgen) had planned to host a short (15-minute) workshop on ideas and inspiration to be followed by a panel Q&A session with some of that day’s participating authors where they would be answering question on their writing, journey to publishing, and the nuts and bolts of publishing industry.

However, the online crime and SFFH panels were overflowing (maximum six per panel so it would be manageable in the 40 minutes) so this became an ideas panel where (crime and SFFH) authors chatted about ideas; how they get them and what they do with them. It was fun!
