Writing science fiction can sometimes seem daunting or difficult due mostly to the misconception that it must be filled with gee-whiz science that has to be perfect! Come talk with William Ledbetter, who has a deep love of the genre and has been reading, watching, and writing it since he was a kid, and find out how some of the best science fiction might contain very little actual science.

William Ledbetter is a Nebula Award-winning author with two novels and more than seventy speculative fiction short stories and non-fiction articles published in five languages, in markets such as Asimov's, Fantasy & Science Fiction, Analog, Escape Pod, and the SFWA blog. 

He's been a space and technology geek since childhood and spent most of his non-writing career in the aerospace industry. He is a member of SFWA, the National Space Society of North Texas, and a Launch Pad Astronomy workshop graduate. He lives near Dallas with his wife, a needy dog, and three spoiled cats.

"Level Five" and "Level Six," the first two novels in his Killday Series are available from Audible Originals and soon in paper and e-book from Interstellar Flight Press.

William is represented by David Hale Smith with the InkWell Management Literary Agency.
