This year for Worldbuilders’ charity auction, I am offering A Thing:https://worldbuilders.org/…/laura-anne-gilman-will-discuss…/ I’m offering a ‘bluesky’ session for a writer who wants to throw plot-ideas or career worries against a wall and get critical-but-nonjudgmental feedback from a 20+ year survivor of the publishing industry. This will be a 45 minute session via Skype, for pretty much
