Speaker: Zachry Wheeler

How to Write Good Science Fiction

There’s more to science fiction than putting science in your fiction. Fans of the genre expect a certain vibe from the characters and settings. The rules are flexible, but the foundations are not. This talk will explore the basics of good science fiction and get you started on a literary journey through space, time, and everywhere in between.

Zachry Wheeler is an award-winning science fiction novelist, screenwriter, and shutterbug. He enjoys casual gardening, serious gaming, and wandering the wilds of New Mexico.

Speaker: Léonie Rosenstiel

How Jack Canfield Came to Write the Foreword for Legal Protection

During the early days of Covid, when Léonie started regularly attending Zoom gatherings of writers, she had no expectations of what might result from occasional, casual contact with Jack Canfield and those close to him. She attended those sessions to learn more about the craft of writing and publishing. These sessions led, first, to Jack’s endorsement of her book, Protecting Mama, a memoir of her college-professor mother’s last nine years, struggling with the effects of dementia. Later, Jack volunteered to write the Foreword for Legal Protection, Léonie’s most recent book, dedicated to offering people a way to get continuously available legal help without going bankrupt. During her presentation, she’ll demonstrate what it’s like to be interviewed by Jack (with video examples) and describe how their creative conversations developed.

After careers in music, publishing, East Asian medicine, and interfaith ministry, multi award-winning author Léonie Rosenstiel turned her attention to preserving and restoring lost civil rights. Protecting Mama, her 2021 release, has won five literary awards. Jack Canfield wrote the Foreword for her most recent, Legal Protection.

Speaker: Sara Frances

What Judges Look for in Book Contests

Get a running start on content, style, language, grammar, punctuation, editing, design, type, layout, paper, cover, author photo and information, and front and back matter details that make or break an award-winning book. How and why compete, what details bring highest scores, and what are sure score killers. A comprehensive PDF presentation with examples.

Sara Frances self-defines as a photojournalist-poet with a personal storytelling mission. When publication of her own works for a larger audience became a necessity, she spent over 10 years learning its complexities and conventions. She is uniquely prepared and equipped to judge poetry books from both content and design aspects.

Speaker: Léonie Rosenstiel

AI—Your Best Hope or Your Worst Nightmare?

Léonie will share with you how AI is changing how the world works, in fields as diverse as medicine and writing. She’ll describe how many established authors reacted to this new development with dismay and lawsuits, and how Amazon has quickly come to frown on AI-written material. How far will AI go? Maybe, if enough members of the audience already subscribe to it, we’ll even try out some prompts and see how consistent AI is in answering us, or whether it’s still hallucinating, the way it has been since its birth.

Léonie Rosenstiel has been fascinated by AI since only sci fi readers and the military knew about it. An early adopter of new technology, she eagerly tried out AI, and on August 1, 2023 she received a certificate as an AI Powered Training Professional.
