This year, I'm on four programming items for Boskone, February 13-15, 2026! Do swing by if you like body horror, garbage (first drafts), poetry, or all of the above.
Body Horror in Fiction & Media Harbor III Fri 7:00 PM Duration: 01:00
Body horror gets under your skin. Is it being embodied as inherently upsetting? How can body horror portray liberating transformation/acceptance of that horror? The term "body horror" didn't seem common in public until 2024--how long has it really been around?
Justin C. Key, Bracken MacLeod, Gillian Daniels, Rebecca Rowland, RJ Taylor, Nicholas Kaufmann
How to Keep Writing When Your First Draft Is Garbage Harbor III Sat 1:00 PM Duration: 01:00
Sometimes you write a draft that either you (or your writers' group) decides it's no good. So what do you do? Do you trash the draft? Do you start something new? Or do you decide to revise again? How do you decide?
Charles Oberndorf, Christine Taylor-Butler, Jeanne Cavelos, Lyndsay Ely, Gillian Daniels
Reading: Gillian Daniels Independence Sat 4:00 PM Duration: 00:25
Poetry Slam Carlton Sun 1:00 PM Duration: 01:00
Listen to poetry from some of Boskone's writers.
Romie Stott, Rob Cameron, Gillian Daniels, Courtney Floyd, Theodora Goss, Michael McAfee, Julia Rios
