This Saturday: Our First Public Panel!
We’re thrilled to share that starting this August, all our future panels – formerly Patreon exclusive – will be free and available to everyone and streamed through our Book Lover’s Discord Server.
How do the Duck Prints Press panels? Simple!
Panels are held on the third Saturday of every month, with the specific time determined 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
Dates and times are announced on our public Discord server as Events.
The day before the panel, I post an agenda (also on Discord) that gives an idea of the specific questions we’ll be addressing; additional questions can be submitted ahead of time by backers of our Patreon (who also may request specific panel topics!).
We get together a group of our creators and we have a live-streamed chat about the topic at hand on our public Discord server.
Each panel is one hour long, with approximately 15 minutes after that hour to take questions from attendees.
The panel is recorded; after the panel, Patrons at the $7/month level and higher can access the recording whenever they’d like. (there are 23 past panel recordings already available to our backers!)
The panels themselves are similar to those held at literary conventions, if folks have been to a litcon, and if not, it’s pretty much a directed conversation about the panel topic. And the August panel topic? Well…
Panel Topic: Character Building
Description: It’s a no-brainer that (nearly all) stories need characters, and there are lots of how-tos on character building. In this panel, we’ll have a robust conversation with our panelists on how we build characters, what resources we’ve found helpful, what advice worked for us (and what advice didn’t!), our personal approaches to developing and growing our characters, and more!
Likely Panelists: J. D. Rivers, Sage Mooreland, Rascal Hartley, Anima NM, YF Ollwell, and Dei Walker
I hope y’all will join us! Turning on your camera and sound not required.
