MidAmeriCon II (AKA the 74th WorldCon) has a tentative schedule out. This is my programming schedule. I hope to see you in Kansas City!
Business Planning for Writers
Thursday, August 18, 16:00 - 17:00, 2504B (Kansas City Convention Center)
You've sold your first novel and now have to figure out how to make a living as a writer. It is a lot more than just write and cash the checks, though. Because a freelancer's income is never guaranteed, how do you budget properly? Should you set yourself up as a corporation? How do you handle taxes? A guide to planning the business aspect of your career.
Richard Chwedyk, Gay Haldeman, Sean Hazlett CFA, Sebastien de Castell (M), Joelle Presby

The Downside of Collaboration
Saturday, August 20, 14:00 - 15:00, 2209 (Kansas City Convention Center)
It has been suggested that in a collaboration, each partner does 90% of the work for 50% of the money. Although a good collaboration creates something that couldn't have been written by only one of the authors, there are downsides and negatives to every collaborative process.
Lynette M. Burrows, Eileen Gunn, Jeff Sturgeon, Joelle Presby, Rob Chilson (M)
Balancing the Creative Life
Saturday, August 20, 15:00 - 16:00, 2503B (Kansas City Convention Center)
Finding balance is a trick nowadays. How do you keep a day job, AND read AND go to galleries AND network AND absorb enough of the world to keep your brain well fed inspired and energized enough to create? Panelists discuss what keeps them going and engaged in their work and life.
Kelly Robson, Joelle Presby, Mark W. Tiedemann, James Van Pelt (M), Deirdre Murphy
