The 2023 Speculative Fiction Festival will explore fantasy, science-fiction, dystopia, horror, and the myriad subgenres within the literature of imagination without borders.

Leading authors, publishers, editors, and agents will discuss craft, process, and opportunities, and offer valuable insights and tips on every aspect of publishing.

Attendees can listen to writers from the genre discuss how horror can be hopeful, hear all about hybrid authorship in the age of publishing scarcity, and sign up on the day for a ‘Kaffeeklatsch’: an intimate chat with our knowledgeable guests to ask them your burning questions.

Attendees have the option to purchase their ticket with lunch included. Better Read Than Dead will be selling titles from the festival speakers on the day, and there will be opportunities for book signings.
