Claire Eddy, representing our spotlight publisher, Tor Books, is an executive editor who has been working with fantasy, science fiction, and horror authors for 30 years. Susan Langley, helped create the field of underwater archeology and knows more than a little about pirates. Jacqueline Carey is our writer guest of honor, author of the award-winning Kushiel’s Legacy historical fantasy series, and the inspiration for the Longest Night theme of the convention and the Longest Night Concert Dance Party, featuring five musical acts. Our guests of honor from 2020 have traveled through time to be with us for this event.
Artists and vendors are not limited by how much they can haul to the con, and there is never a crowd blocking you from that thing you didn’t even know you wanted.
this year there is even a Drag Academy with a Saturday showcase!īe sure to check out the art show and the dealers’ room. It will be much easier to get a good seat at the masquerade. Club tables, games, watch parties, and venues where people can get together and schmooze. We have improv comedy, concerts, contests, and dances. We have 110 panelists, and that’s not counting game hosts and performers. We are excited to offer over well over 200 hours of panels, workshops, and special events. We have 10! Take a moment to look through the Guidebook and see all we have to offer. Be sure to check out the features beyond just the panels. Thanks for inviting us!Īctually, we are holding the con in Airmeet, which I think you will find intuitive and easy to use. While we all look forward to living in a post-apocalyptic world, or at least a post-pandemic world, this year we are making virtue of virtuality, and have decided to hold the con at your place. For example, parking is easier, and there is never a wait for the elevator. You may have noticed some changes from previous years. My name is Tonya Clark, the chair of Norwescon, and on behalf of the staff, volunteers, panelists, and your fellow members, we are glad you are here!
