Jeff VanderMeer has 8 upcoming events. Library of Congress: "What IF" Series: Booklife: The Private and the Public in the Future of Publishing (December 1 at 12:00) Jeff VanderMeer reads from Booklife: Strategies & Survival Tips for the 21st-Century Writer. What are the benefits and dangers of a confusion between the private creativity and the public career elements of a writer’s life caused by new media and a proliferation of “open channels”? What protective measures must a writer take to preserve his or her “self” in this environment? In addition ... (more)to the guerilla tactics implicit in storytelling through social media and other unconventional platforms, in what ways is a writer’s life now itself a story irrespective of intentional fictive storytelling? Examining these issues leads naturally to a discussion on the tension and cross-pollination between the private and public lives of writers in our transmedia age, including the strategies and tactics that best serve those who want to survive and flourish in this new environment. What are we losing, and what do we stand to gain? Event location: Pickford Theater, 3rd floor of the Madison Building

Related series Related book awardsRelated people/charactersRelated placesAuthor DisambiguationHow many authors?Jeff VanderMeer is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author. This entry includes…
Combine with…What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but mischievous gremlins keep combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the gremlin and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group. Become a member to do this. Some author links |
