  Join us for an informal meet & greet/hangout with a bunch of MisCon's writers and editors. This isn't a formal panel with panelists up on the stage discussing a topic. Instead, everyone will grab chairs in the pavilion, and the moderator will get things going. Then we'll open things up so small group hangouts can happen until the end of the hour. This is your chance to informally meet a bunch of the people you'll see on panels all weekend.

• Break Fri 1:50 - Fri 3:00
• Fri 3:00 - 3:50 PM, Who Needs an Editor?, Dragon Pavilion
  Panelists: Manny Frishberg, Lynsey Griswold (Lynsey G), Patrick Swenson: Fairwood Press

  What exactly do editors do? Let's discuss the different types of editing (developmental, line, copy, proofreading etc), what editors look for in a manuscript, and how a good editor helps authors refine their voices and strengthen their narratives.

• Break Fri 3:50 - Sat 11:00
• Sat 11:00 - 12:50 PM, First Page Idol a.k.a. Live Action Slush Pile, Dungeon
  Moderator: Theresa Miller; Panelists: Lynsey Griswold (Lynsey G), Tod McCoy, Theresa Miller, Patrick Swenson: Fairwood Press

  Join us for MisCon's annual First Page Idol! Here's how it works: Hand in the FIRST PAGE of your story at the start of the panel. Pages will be randomly chosen and read aloud. Our panelists will indicate when, had the submission come across their desk, they'd stop reading and tell us why. Submissions will be anonymous and will not be returned. (All submissions may not be read).

• Break Sat 12:50 - Sat 4:00
• Sat 4:00 - 4:50 PM, Queer/Trans Representation for Writers , Great Hall 2
  Panelists: Lynsey Griswold (Lynsey G), Dean Wells

  What counts as ’good’ representation when crafting a story? speculative fiction? What does ’queernorm’ mean? And what’s up with pronouns? Join our panelists as they discuss and share representation in their own work, starting at the basics.
