Panel – Audible Presents: The Sounds of Storytelling! How Science Fiction and Fantasy’s Greatest Writers and Narrators Take Listeners on the Ride of Their Lives
Room 409
5:00-6:00pm
It looks good on the page, but how does it SOUND? Join some of the world’s best science fiction and fantasy authors and performers as they shed light on the unique and creative ways that words come alive through Audible performances. What makes an incredible audiobook? How does writing specifically for audio affect the creative process? How can narration and sound design transform a great story into a mind-blowing audio experience? What amazing feats can writers achieve in audio that aren’t possible in other mediums? Do authors make words deliberately difficult to pronounce to make things harder for their narrators? Emily Andras (Wynonna Earp), Mary Robinette Kowal (The Lady Astronaut series), Ray Porter (the Bobiverse series, Project Hail Mary), R.A. Salvatore (The Legends of Drizzt), John Scalzi (Starter Villain, Constituent Service), and Dennis E. Taylor (The Bobiverse series) join forces to reveal all. There’s more to imagine when you listen.
Authors: John Scalzi, Mary Robinette Kowal
