Albacon Panels Now Available!

Did you see me talking on social media about the panels we’d be participating in at Albacon and think “oh wow, I wish I could hear that, but I’m not able to attend the con so I guess there’s no hope”? Well, there IS hope – all FIFTY Albacon panels and readings are now available online for anyone who registers to attend the con as a hybrid attendee – and you can still register as a hybrid attendee, for only $15, for the next month (you can register, and watch, until October 11th).

I personally participated in two panels and did one reading – Starting a Small Press, a reading from my story in Add Magic to Taste, and Crowdfunding for Print.

We had great discussions at all three – Starting a Small Press also feature Bianca D’arc, Ian Randal Strock (owner of Fantastic Books), and Inanna Arthen (panel moderator, owner of By Light Unseen Media). We had a great chat with a lot of specifics and details related to owning and operating small presses. Crowdfunding for Print included me, Bianca, and Ian again, with Tris Lawrence (whose work with Duck Prints Press can be found here) and Alex Shvartsman contributing their expertise as well.

And, if you register, you can access all the other awesome panels and readings as well, including those featuring the guests of honor Walter Hunt and Linda Addison, the special guests Allen Steele and Dan Kimmel, and all the other con panelists!

You can register HERE if you want to check out all the awesome!

 

Get to Know Adrian Harley, Author of “Many Drops Make a Stream”

Pre-orders for Many Drops Make a Stream open on September 15th, 2023.

Don’t know about the book yet? Check out our cover reveal (complete with book blurb!) and one, two, three (ah ha ha), three teasers we’ve posted the last few days.

With three days to go, what better time than now to get to know the author Adrian Harley?

Adrian Harley is an almost-lifelong North Carolinian and a fantasy-fiction aficionado who didn’t start delving deep into fandom until adulthood. They are an editor of research by day and an aspiring novelist, also by day. They go to bed early. They have short stories in OFIC Magazine and multiple Duck Prints Press anthologies. They live with their husband and a perfectly reasonable number of cats.

You can find Adrian on their personal website, Tiktok, and Tumblr!

Adrian has worked with Duck Prints Press as an editor and a member of our advisory team for over a year, and they’ve contributed short stories to two of our anthologies: And Seek (Not) to Alter Me: Queer Fanworks Inspired by William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and She Wears the Midnight Crown.

We’ll be conducting an interview with Adrian Harley soon – so reply, leave us a comment, or drop us an ask with your questions about Adrian and their work!
