Anthrocon 2019

The world is not always a happy or pretty place, even when writing about talking animals. For verisimilitude in stories, sometimes it's necessary to actually explore the more horrible side of the nature of society and individuals. Come for a talk about giving topics such as personal violence, addiction, prejudices, and so on the proper gravitas, examining their necessity in the specific work, and dealing as a writer with the personal emotional fallout that can sometimes occur. Must be over 18, or over the legal age in country of citizenship. IDs and badges will be checked at the door.
