Hybrid Event: The Traveling SFF Festival

East City Bookshop welcomes Yume Kitasei, Ray Nayler, Julia Vee, and Fran Wilde for a special panel in the Traveling SFF Festival.

THE TRAVELING SFF FESTIVAL: Over two weeks and eight cities, two groups of 3-5 speculative fiction authors with new releases will be hitting the road in “traveling book festival” style. Each night, we’ll be making a stop at a new location to discuss a different aspect of speculative fiction. Panelists will take turns moderating each stop. Over the series, we will be exploring how the genre is evolving, how our identities and backgrounds inform our own writing, and where we think SFF is headed.

Note on Format: This hybrid event will have both an in-person component with limited seating as well as a virtual broadcast via Zoom Webinar. Both in-person and virtual attendees will be able to pose questions to the author during audience Q&A.
