On Saturday, May 25, at 10 a.m., William will participate in a reading of Lambda Literary Award Finalists in the Hotel Monteleone's Cabildo Room. That same day, at 11:30 a.m., William will participate in a panel called "Miniature Gems: Crafting Successful Short Fiction" in the Hotel Monteleone's Royal Salon B.

In both sessions, William will participate with interesting, exciting colleagues.

In the 11:30 a.m. panel, ​Daniel M. Jaffe, Jen Michalski and David Pratt will participate with William. Elizabeth Sanders will moderate.
