Mark your calendars! Gen Con 2024 will take place from Thursday, August 1st through Sunday, August 4th in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Writer’s Symposium, now in its 28th year, is a celebration of speculative fiction for new and experienced writers and will be on the 2nd floor of the Indianapolis Downtown Marriott.

“The Gen Con Writers’ Symposium is a semi-independent event hosted by Gen Con and intended for both new and experienced writers of speculative fiction. All registration is handled through the Gen Con website ^[1].

In the past 28 years, the Writers’ Symposium has grown from a small set of panels over a day or two of the convention to one of the largest convention-hosted writing tracks in North America, offering hundreds of hours of programming from 70+ authors, editors, agents, and publishers to nearly 3000 unique visitors per year on average.” –SOURCE: GenConWriters.org ^[2]

This year’s special guests are Mikki Kendall and Linda D. Addison. For a full list of speakers and links to their works, including FlamesRising.com contributor Monica Valentinelli, visit Gen Con Writer’s Symposium 2024 Speakers ^[3].

Tickets to GenCon: Indy ^[1] will go live on Sunday, February 11th. Programming for the Writer’s Symposium is not yet available, but we’ll be sure to update you when the list of events, panels, and workshops are live.
