Imaginarium 2024 is proud to announce the addition of two new workshops and four new panels to our growing list of 2024 Panel and Workshop Programming! There will be over 130 panels and workshops hosted in our 11th year, so make sure to check back regularly on our official site to see all new additions!
The titles, moderators, and descriptions for these new programming additions are as follows:
New Workshop Additions:
How to Become a Podcast / Radio Guest: Presenter – John Pyka. How to get booked on podcasts and radio to promote your book(s) and the benefits to you and your brand. (60 min)
Write to the Point: Presenter – Page Zaplendam. The idea being that just like the book, every chapter has a point. Whatever that point is has to leave us with a tie in to the next chapter or the next place in the character’s story. Also, efficiency – that each scene must be as concise as possible owing to limitations. The reader will only accept the length of the book for you to explain, so each scene has to work multiple angles. (60 min)
New Panel Additions:
Horror & Heavy Metal: Moderator – Jayson William Allen. Join us for an entertaining look into blending songwriting with the horror genre and being inspired by it. (60 min)
Poetry Readings: Moderator – Tom Hunley. Bring your poems and share them with the attendees and other poets. This panel is not on a time limit and will end at the moderator’s discretion.
Tales from the Lemur Throne: Moderators Joe Isenberg, Clayton Barnett, and S. Donovan Croft. In this panel, Croft, Barnett, and Isenberg present samples of their recent work, illustrated by AI-generated art, as a means of showing what can be done with this emerging new technology. (60 min)
Writing & Mental Health: Moderator – Alisa Childress. There is scientific proof of the benefits writing has for your mental health. If you’re having mental health issues it can also affect your writing and block creativity. We will discuss a creative’s isolation and depression. (60 min)
