Irish National Science Fiction Convention 2018 (Invited Speaker & Book Launch)

Description

Playing Nicely Together: Shared Universes
Many creators work in a world that's built by or shared with others such as the Star Wars and Star Trek universes, Marvel, DC, and George R R Martin's Wildcards. What are the pros and cons of sharing your work and your worlds?

Book Launch: Let Sleeping Dragons Lie
Garth Nix and Sean Williams hold the Ireland & UK launch of Have Swords, Will Travel and Let Sleeping Dragons Lie at Octocon, ahead of the worldwide publication of Let Sleeping Dragons Lie at the end of October. 

Being Human
Do Frankenstein's monster, the hosts of Westworld, and the X-men fit our ever-expanding definitions of what makes someone 'human'? How far can we be changed before we are no longer considered human?

Dinosaurs at the Movies: The Good, The Bad and The Rapturous!
Did you know that there have been movies about dinosaurs for over a hundred years? At Dinosaurs at the Movies, the Dino Guy takes you on a whistle-stop tour all the way back to 'the stoopid ages' of dinosaur cinema and right up to the Jurassic World era, checking out everything in between - hold on to your butts, because this one gets a bit zany!

Writing for the Next Generation
Best-selling children's authors talk about the unique challenges and pleasures of writing for the toughest critics of all.
