Renaissance Virtual Convention and Formatting for Authors

Hello My Imaginary Friends,

This weekend I did a thing… I participated in a virtual convention. It was wonderfully run and a lot of fun. Super proud of the organizers and how awesome they are. The panellists were fantastic and despite my hate for Discord, the conversation there was impressive.

I look forward to the next one and I hope they are happy with how it went.

I was on two panels, which is fair since I’m not an expert in most of the topics. I know a little about a lot. One was my book launch with some other fantastic authors. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert on my book, I only wrote it. My wife read it three times so she’s more of an expert.

The one thing I know very well is layout. I ran a workshop on Saturday evening that was all about layout for authors. I’ve noticed dealing with authors that there are some large gaps in their knowledge of word processing and I wanted to make their lives easier.

I’m hoping to write a series of blogposts about it but I’ve been really low on energy lately and I have a novel to finish by September.

If you are reading this and want more information about formatting, here’s a short list of resources from me.

This is a short list that I hope to be adding to. However, if you have any questions feel free to contact me on the Layout Services page.

Thank you,

Éric

We attended Renaissance Press’s multi-author book launch recently, and brought the TARDIS for photo-ops with the authors and their brand new books.

What I *should* have done was ask the author which (if any) of their characters would run off with the Doctor. Hopefully they’ll answer in the comments!

What I *should* have done was ask the author which (if any) of their characters would run off with the Doctor. In this case, I’m going to ask now, as he is sitting in a chair ten feet away.

“I think the most likely would be Megan or Ajay, but I could definitely see Abigail doing it too.”
