While it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I really enjoy being on panels – the conversations are usually wonderful and I always walk away with new things to think about or put into practice. For example, I spoke on a panel about freelancing at the 2022 Nebula Conference and was buzzing with enough ideas afterward that I had to share some of the tips and tricks that work well for me in a Twitter thread here In recent years, I’ve loved the opportunity to be a part of more panels as a viewer and participant thanks to the number of cons that were either virtual or hybrid. A few of the ones I’ve been a part of remain available for viewing on YouTube, including:

• Games Writing and Prose Writing In Conversation, a panel at the Dream Foundry conference with writers Monte Lin and Aaron A. Reed, moderated by Stephen Granade
• Short Stories are Not Baby Novels, a panel at the Dream Foundry conference with S.B. Divya, Jose Pablo Iriarte, and Todd Sanders, moderated by Jaymee Goh
• Race and Science Fiction, a Writers Roundtable with writers Carlos Hernandez, Cadwell Turnbull, and Alaya Dawn Johnson, moderated by Joy Sanchez-Taylor.
