Creation Station offers half-hour how-to mini panels exploring:
Beta Reading: The Art, the Science, the Sheer Glee!
and
Critiquing: Where to Aim; How Not to Flame.
The Beta panel is largely about how to build successful author-reader and author-editor relationships and how to improve your writing.
The Critiquing panel is largely about how to evaluate written, drawn, and role-played fan creations, in ways that are respectful and helpful, and how to fend it off, if people respond to your own work in ways that are less than helpful.
In both panels, attendees will be encouraged to share personal experiences and to ask questions.
Beta is 2pm-2:30pm, Saturday, in the Creation Station Panel Room.
Critiquing is 4:30pm-5pm, Saturday, in the Creation Station Panel Room.
Creation Station is your home for artistic expressions made within the con or brought to con for contests, for feedback, or for performance opportunities. We are located on the 3rd floor of the Hilton side of the hotel in the rooms called Council and Directors.
Hope to see you there! Feel free to ask any questions in this thread or in these panels!
