Welcome to the New SFWA Events!

For years, SFWA staged out events on events.sfwa.org, but we’re bringing our events “home” to SFWA.org for an important reason: better integration.

Instead of two separate login systems, we have one – with seamless event-access for all future ticket purchases from store.sfwa.org. And instead of having events “stuck” on just one page, we now have an interface that allows us to promote the work of our volunteers and their presenters all across the website. This means that committee and project teams will have upcoming events front and center on their main pages, right next to deep dives into relevant creative topics.

You will also note that SFWA now finally shows local time for events on most displays. (Hello, 21st Century!) If you have a VPN turned on, your experience may vary, but we hope this improves your Nebula conference this year, and all other events via SFWA.org.

Thank you for growing with us! It’s been a wild ride, and your support through these technical transformations has meant the world to our team. Check back soon for news about a proper Open House to provide more insight into this and other recent changes here on SFWA.org.

Writing a novel and writing for a game both involve crafting detailed worlds that your audience will love, but the process can diverge widely from that point on. Join Nebula Finalist Greg Kasavin (Hades II) and J. S. Dewes as they discuss how game writing differs from other narrative storytelling forms, and how to pack the most punch into a game’s limited prose.

"Sit in the chair every day: Plant yourself in the chair daily for a few hours and eventually the words will come." -Joshua Fields Millburne. If you've ever felt like this - and other conventional writing advice - doesn't quite suit you, then this is the workshop for you! Particularly for those of us who are disabled or neurodivergent, we each need to find a writing rhythm, process, and systems that work for our unique selves. Join this interactive workshop led by three disabled or neurodivergent writers to identify writing strategies that work for your body and brain.
