Kimberly Unger. author of the forthcoming NUCLEATION, and winner of 2020 Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award John Picacio, whose many Tachyon cover contributions include BURN by James Patrick Kelly, THE BEST OF JOE R. LANSDALE, and HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOREVER by James Tiptree, Jr., will both be attending events at the 2020 Nebula Conference Online, May 29th-31st.

SFWA members and other individuals who are interested in the field of science fiction and fantasy are welcome to attend SFWA’s Nebula Conference. Attendees may participate in workshops, programming and special events throughout the weekend.

Focusing on three tracks relevant to professionals in the genre, attendees will be able to choose from career management, professional development, and expert knowledge panels and workshops throughout the weekend.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the board of SFWA feels that holding an in-person event this May would be irresponsible.

The Nebula Conference will include panels, solo presentations, conference mentorships, workshops, forums, chats, and virtual room parties (including a dance party hosted by John Scalzi). A portion of the funds we raise will go to assist SFWA members financially affected by COVID-19.
