SFX WEEKENDER 3 COUNTDOWN: Author’s Galore!

One of the great things about the SFX Weekender is the huge line up of authors on site for you to mingle with and this year is no exception.

Looking at the line up it seems like the SFX Ninjas have been doing their best to kidnap even  loads more Sci-Fi/ fantasy authors for the event than previous years. It left me wondering  if these authors will be waking up on 2nd Feb in a Number 6 like dream state as they adjust to their first day of captivity in the SFX Weekender village.

I attended quite a few of the author’s panels during the last weekender and got a lot from them so I would recommend, if this is your first weekender, that you check out a few over the course of the event. There are also a number of stands selling a lot of the featured author’s titles so if you do take a fancy to a particular author you won’t have to look too far to pick up their latest book.
