Come one, come all to Opening Ceremonies!

The Alpha Mercs is a group of writers,  editors, and artists. Our group is all published and practice the philosophy of “rising tide” mutually supporting each other by sharing critiques and open calls. This Roundtable will be a nuts and bolts approach to the establishment,  development and maintenance of such groups. The discussion will touch on determining if a particular group is a good fit. Also,  if and when a writer might have outgrown a group. Sam Robb moderates.

David Badurina hosts "The Dark, The Absurd, and The Unfiltered: Injecting Humor Into Story" - a panel focused on exploring humor in stories, in particular embracing absurdity, dark humor to break tension, and how to walk the cliff's edge of cultural satire that delights with hilarity and stops just short of getting you cancelled. 

Non-denominational Prayer Service, hosted by Gray Rinehart
