Fantasycon 2024 kicks off on 11th October at The Queen at Chester Hotel, where I’ll be capping off con season with a few panels and a reading from some of my recent stuff. Check below for details as well as news on the BFS Journal on Fantasy & Gaming.
Firstly, let’s tackle next week’s Fantasycon shenanigans. I’m excited for Sunday in particular, where I’ll get to talk about some aspects of my PhD and fandom, but other panels will also have me talking about some of my writing darlings — and I’ll have something new for you at my reading on Saturday.

In other news, the British Fantasy Society will be finally publishing the Fantasy and Games edition of the BFS Journal that Charly Harbord and I co-edited last year. The issue has been delayed by problems in production side, but I’m told it will be available to BFS members this Autumn in paperback format. Ebook formats have already been sent out to BFS members. Keep an eye on the BFS mailers for more details.
