Get to Know the SFWA Stage at Baltimore Book Festival
On Saturday, September 13, join the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association at the Baltimore Book Festival!
We’ll be hosting our SFWA Stage at the Peabody Heights site, in collaboration with Neon Hemlock Press and Libro.fm, and in panel partnership with the good folks at the Horror Writers Association. Then you can join SFWA President Kate Ristau, Director-at-Large Day Al-Mohamed, and Executive Director Isis Asare for an informal hangout at Peabody’s Brewery, Sunday after the Book Festival (5 p.m.), and Tea in D.C. on Monday, at Ebenezer’s Coffeehouse. It’s a rich weekend of books and brews with SFWA!
Partnerships and community-building are what it’s all about in SFF, and we can’t wait to share with you in that dynamic process.

A gift from our friends at Libro.fm: In honor of the Baltimore Book Festival, and in support of the SFWA Stage, use the promo code SFWA when signing up for a first-time one-credit-a-month subscription, and receive three audiobooks for the price of one.
