Saturday Morning Readings and Kaffeeklatsches
Readings and Kaffeeklatsches will be held on Discord in the “Readings and Kaffeeklatsch” video chat rooms. This is a great time to get some one-on-few time with a guest and ask them questions in casual, fun settings while possibly also getting a sneak peak at some new work.

Room 4: Melissa McArthur
Do you have questions about working with a small press, publishing, editing, writing, or pretty much anything else? Melissa McArthur, associate publisher at Falstaff Books, is opening the floor for a very rare Ask Me Anything!
Room 5: Alex Hofelich
PseudoPod is a horror fiction venue that has been bringing you free weekly short stories in podcast form for the last 14 years. Do you like short horror fiction? Come talk to Alex Hofelich, who has been involved with the podcast for over a decade and in one of the big chairs for the last five. Are you a writer? PseudoPod is open to submissions from October 15 through November 2. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about the submissions process and discuss some of the ins and outs of an open call with Alex and members of the Associate Editor team. Already a PseudoPod fan? Our curation is set assuming that no one will love every single episode, but every single episode is someone's favorite. We love hearing what yours is. Come join us for a coffee!

Room 1: Tyra Burton
Have questions about social media, podcasting, marketing, or indie writing? Join Tyra and together we'll look for answers. She'll be chatting about all things geeky, social, and digital and maybe readings from Penduli Station and her work in progress. #GeekMeetsSocial
Room 2: Tonia Ransom
Join horror writer and NIGHTLIGHT horror podcast creator Tonia Ransom as she reads an excerpt from her upcoming debut novel, Risen, a story about an ER doctor who learns that not only does the afterlife exist, so do zombies…and now she is one. The reading will be followed by a Q&A to discuss writing #horror, podcasting, or whatever else participants want to talk about.
Room 3: Tony Sarracchia
Tony will talk about all things AD, writing, producing, casting, promoting. This will be an audience-centric discussion so the topics will revolve around what the audience wants to hear. Interactivity is encouraged.
Room 4: L. Marie Wood
You thought you were dead. Waking up and looking all around you, you realize all you learned about The Afterlife was a fantasy. You don't know where you are, but you do know it's not a safe place. You need to run. NOW! L. Marie Wood reads an excerpt of her upcoming novel, The Realm, to be released on October 29th and answers questions about writing horror fiction, screenplays, and the genre.
Room 5: Rhonda Jackson Joseph
Please come join R. J. Joseph as she reads various bits of creepiness from her works. As an additional bonus, R. J. will gift 5 random attendees with a free copy of Southwest Review's Volume 105, Autumn 2020, which includes her newest story "Conflict Resolution".
