Upcoming Events

BookCon - June 2nd, 2018
Panel: Booklovers, today we stan for fandom itself! From Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter, and everything in between, fandom plays a huge role in the lives of readers—and writers. Whether it’s history, Star Wars, or the collected works of Stephen King, sometimes the greatest inspiration for new stories comes from stories that we already know and love. Join a panel of authors to discuss how they’ve channeled their fandoms into works of original fiction. Room 1E16 (10:45-11:30)

VIP Signing (12:00-2:00 in VIP Autograph Room)
​
Booth Signing (2:45-3:45 in Autographing Area, Table 5)
