This November weekend on the 8th through 10th, I return to Windycon in Oak Brook, IL! There, I will also be a host and guest to a great number of panels!

WindyCon is going to be a fascinating departure from my usual convention goings, as I'll be hosting and speaking at many of their panels! I'm excited t see how things will turn out!

How to Find & Sell Artwork at Art Shows and Conventions

I will be moderating this panel as I ask the speakers how they tackling the ebbs and flows of making money selling your artwork.

Self-Care for the Creative

What can you, as an author, artist, sculptor, or costumer, do to care for yourself in the throes of your creative muse? I'll moderate this panel and asked the speakers how they handle their mental health while navigating the tenuous life of creating art, crafts, and writing.

Self-Publishing: Pros and Cons

I'm moderating this panel to have the speakers discuss self-publishing. They talk about how they started, how they maintain their careers, and overcoming the challenges of being their own creator, publisher, and seller.
