I’m here, there and everywhere in August. A big chunk of it will be taken up by the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon for short), which is coming to the SEC in Glasgow.
Sandwiched between Chengdu, China a year ago and Seattle, USA next year, this is a big thing. The Hugos for example, which you could say are the equivalent to the science fiction Oscars, are held here.
Dates are Thursday 8th August thru Monday 12th August. I have a table for the duration at Block A, Hall 5, SEC Glasgow. I’ll be tucked away in one of the corners next to Eight Light Minutes Culture and not too far from the Glasgow Gin exhibit (I hope this is not some sort of sign)! I’ll also be part of a Group Book Launch on Thurs 8th at Argyll 3 at 5.30pm (I’ll be promoting my AI-themed anthology Rerun to Eden). Also, I’ll be part of a panel From Prose to Pow! on Fri 9th August at Argyll 2 at 11.30am. We’ll be discussing the transition from writing prose to writing comics and back again.
It’s exciting. You can still buy tickets for the 5-day event, or weekend or single day tickets. Check out the website to follow. Maybe see you over the extended weekend.
Later in August, I’ll be at MegaCon in Carlisle and Kirkcaldy Comic Con, which have both been good to me in the past. Details to follow:
