Apex also heartily recommends catching Monica Valentinelli’s reading Sunday at 11 a.m. She has announced her selections as excerpts from “Tomorrow’s Precious Lambs,” published in The Zombie Feed Volume 1, and “Tailfeather,” published in Apexology: Science Fiction and Fantasy.
In addition to those panels, readings, and signings, Jason, Lynne and Catherynne will be at the Hugo Awards, which you can watch live via WorldCon’s Ustream if you can’t be there in person. Apex Publications will also have a table in the dealers room, staffed throughout the weekend by Apex editors, minions and friends. Stop by, say hello and see what’s new at Apex.
I really enjoyed Jason on the Filling the Magazines panel. I learned a lot from that panel which will help me as a writer. Thanks, guys.
