Salt Lake Comic Con Panel Assignments

This past weekend I got my panel assignments for Salt Lake Comic Con, which is coming up September 4-6, 2014. I’m so excited, and a little nervous to sit alongside some of these prolific authors like Jennifer Nielsen and David Farland! (Brandon Sanderson will be there, alas I did not get assigned on any panels with him.)

If you live in Salt Lake or know someone who does, tell them to come out for Comic Con. It’s going to be lots of fun. Click here to learn more. And check out my panel assignments:
