2019 Ask Anything Panel

by Julia Byers, posted in 2019 Conference, Ch1Con, Online Events

Hey there, everyone!

Can’t make it to one of our 2019 conferences? Not to worry! As in previous years, we’re excited to be able to live-stream the “Ask Anything” panel with our 2019 speakers, so all of you amazing young writers who can’t make it to Ch1Con and Ch21Con 2019 still get to participate in something.

This year, the participating speakers will be:

  • Francesca Zappia (Eliza and Her Monsters)
  • Joan He (Descendant of the Crane)
  • Katy Rose Pool (There Will Come a Darkness – September, 2019!)
  • Riley Redgate (Final Draft)

The panel moderators will be Emma Rose Ryan (Ch1Con director) and Julia Byers (Ch21Con director).

The Ask Anything panel will take place during the conferences on Saturday, June 29th from 4:00 to 5:00 PM CDT (5:00 to 6:00 PM EDT).

This is totally free and you don’t need to sign up for anything; it’s simply our gift to you to thank you for all of your support throughout the year. You can find the live-stream on our organization’s YouTube channel at:

www.youtube.com/chapteroneconference

Or, we’re conveniently embedding the video in the post below:

We’ll be asking the panelists a mixture of questions from both the attendees at the two conferences and those of you watching from home. The questions can be about absolutely anything you want, serious or goofy, writing-related or not. (For example, in 2014 we asked our speakers about their OTPs. One replied that she shipped herself and Panera.)

If you’ll be watching the live-stream and would like to ask the speakers a question, there are two ways you can go about doing it:

1.) If you already know what you’d like to ask, you can email your question(s) to us at chapter21conference@gmail.com any time until the day of the conference.

2.) If you come up with a question while you’re watching the live-stream, you can tweet it using #Ch1Con or #Ch21Con.

Either way, feel free to ask as many questions as you’d like. No promises we’ll make it through every single question during the hour-long panel, but we’ll do our best.

Thanks again for supporting us, guys! It means the world to everyone on the Chapter One Events team.

See you at 4:00 PM central/5:00 PM eastern!

by Julia Byers, posted in 2019 Conference, Ch1Con
The Chapter One Events team is absolutely thrilled to announce our final workshop leader for the 2019 Chapter One Young Writers Conference and Chapter Twenty-One Conference:
YA fantasy author Katy Rose Pool!

Katy Rose Pool

Katy Rose Pool is a writer living in Berkeley, California. She grew up in Los Angeles, where her screenwriter father taught her about three act structure, characterization, and inciting incidents all before she could tie her shoes. Katy studied history and English at UC Berkeley. She enjoys breakfast sandwiches, fancy cocktails, rooting for the Golden State Warriors, and books that set her on fire.

Katy is represented by Alexandra Machinist and Hillary Jacobson at ICM Partners.

Her debut novel There Will Come a Darkness will be out September 3, 2019 from Holt Books for Young Readers/Macmillan.

Katy will be leading workshops at both Ch1Con and Ch21Con, discussing how to write a book that is “unputdownable.” She will also be speaking on the conferences’ combined ask anything panel.

Plus, in honor of speaking, Katy has generously offered to give away an advanced reader’s copy of her hotly anticipated debut novel There Will Come a Darkness (which sold to Macmillan in a million-dollar deal)! Just click the link below to enter the raffle. We’ll leave it open for one week!
