SUMMARY:4th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference - Atlanta\, GA
DESCRIPTION:Chris will serve on three different panels at the 4th Annual Broadleaf Writers Conference in Atlanta\, Georgia. \n  \nGoons\, Dames\, Lying\, Cheating and Killing: Putting the Thrill in Thriller \nPanelists: Emily Carpenter\, Roger Johns\, Christopher Swann / Moderator: Ian Campbell \nSaturday\, Sept. 21\, 10:45-11:45am\, Room #118 \nFrom the gritty pulp crime novels on dime store racks of old to the current bestselling trend of vulnerable\, weird narrators finding murderers next door\, on the train or just outside their window\, nothing quite compels like a good thriller. But what are the ingredients you need to make your thriller delicious instead of toxic? How do you create something daring and effective in a genre where everything can be spoiled by too many turns of the screw? Our panelists will investigate\, seeking out the clues to help you solve this challenging mystery within your own work. \n  \nGetting to Yes: How Community Helps Get You From Draft to Publication\nPanelists: Roger Johns\, Kimberly Jones\, Christopher Swann / Moderator: Justin Barisich \nSunday\, Sept. 22\, 10:30-11:30am\, Room #118 \nLife is hard. Writing is harder. Walking the writing road alone can further the difficulty and deepen the sense of isolation. Writers need writers. We need a community that consists of supportive critique groups\, effective beta readers\, and programs that introduce us to scores of writers\, editors\, agents\, and publishers. These resources are easy to take for granted yet sometimes hard to find. Where do you start? How do you find “your people”? Let us open the door\, answer your questions\, and help you find the community you need. \n  \nWhen Bad is Worse: The Motives of Villainy\nPanelists: Angie Thomas\, Christopher Swann\, Julian Winters / Moderator: Carmen Slaughter \nSunday\, Sept. 22\, 11:45am-12:45pm\, Ballroom A \n“When I’m Good\, I’m Very Good\, But When I’m Bad\, I’m Better.” —Mae West \nAntagonists don’t see themselves as evil. There’s always a motivation\, a reason. And though villains can be diabolical\, manipulative\, vicious\, bloodthirsty and ruthless\, they’re often more intriguing for readers and writers to spend time with. If you handle them right. A properly written villain—much like Erik Killmonger\, Hannibal Lecter\, or the Wicked Witch of the West—can seduce your readers\, test their loyalties\, and even appeal to their baser instincts. Join our panel for a discussion on creating a believable and motivated antagonist that your readers may secretly (or not so secretly!) root for. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Decatur Book Festival (Decatur\, Georgia)
DESCRIPTION:Chris will moderate the panel “The American Dream: Three Novels” at this year’s Decatur Book Festival. On the panel are Jason Allen\, author of The East End; Tim Murphy\, author of Correspondents; and Snowden Wright\, author of American Pop. \nFrom the Decatur Book Festival’s website: \nThere are many “American” stories. Snowden Wright’s American Pop is an epic saga that moves from Mississippi to Paris to New York and back again\, following the family\, ambition\, passion\, and tragedy that brings to life one unforgettable Southern dynasty—the Forsters\, founders of the world’s first major soft-drink company—against the backdrop of more than a century of American cultural history. Jason Allen’s The East End is an atmospheric debut novel of family secrets and scandal\, of love and heartbreak\, of working class struggle versus the privileges of the super wealthy\, all set in the Hamptons\, a place whose incredible beauty means both pleasure and pain. And Tim Murphy’s The Correspondents is an enthralling and fast-moving epic of two families—one from New England\, the other from the Middle East—and a haunting portrait of the best and worst sides of America. Join these three authors as they discuss the role of America in the dreams of their characters.
