FantasyCon schedule!
23rd September 2016
It’s FantasyCon time! Hooray!
Yes, we’re off to (hopefully) sunny Scarborough today for a weekend of fantasy-based fun and book-chat. It’s looking like a pretty amazing weekend (Scott Lynch! Francis Hardinge! Joe Hill! Us!) and Team Rebellion is out in force, alongside plenty of our authors.
Check out the full schedule below, and come and say hello – we don’t bite (although if we do, it’s entirely affectionate). Don’t forget to come and wail a few tunes with us at our Saturday night karaoke…
See you by the sea!
