Your Hosts: Brandon, Dan, Mary Robinette, and Howard

This Q&A; session was recorded before a live audience aboard ship at WXR 2022,

Here are some paraphrasings of the questions our attendees asked:

* How do you make your world feel big without infodumping?

* How do you balance a sense of progress with an unreliable narrator?

* How can I make two magic systems work in the same setting when one is underpowered, and the protagonist uses the weaker one?

* Have you ever based characters on yourself, or on people you know?

* What does the process of book adaptation look like

* Do you have any good convention recommendations?

* What are some methods for determining how much scientific detail you go into?

* How do you interact with an audience in order to grow it?

Credits: This episode was recorded by Marshall Carr, Jr., and mastered by Alex Jackson.
