If you want to hear writing tips from the big names, the medium names, and everyone else, look no further. As a blogger, vlogger, and actively querying fantasy author, I am addicted to attending all the writing panels a person could possibly attend at a convention. We're talking about attending upwards of 25 hours of panels in 3 days. Fortunately for you? I love sharing my copious notes. But, I also get real. I share my writerly musings: my struggles, my failures, and... hopefully, my writing successes. Thanks for listening. Morgan Hazelwood en-us episodic with Morgan Hazelwood Morgan Hazelwood Welcome!

Whether you’re a writer guest-of-honor on a panel at a convention, or just hosting a dinner party, being a good moderator is highly underrated skill. My favorite panels are where the big names are friendly and informative, and the smaller names are confident with their answers — without anyone talking over each other.
