Conventions
As an author of speculative fiction, one of the things I've discovered is that it's sometimes hard to find out what conventions are happening when. So I've created this page to list a few of them. I'm going to try to keep the page updated, but I know, even as I'm creating it, that I'll probably slip up and forget to.
But that's okay because at least this page will list some of the conventions and you'll be able to look them up on their websites.
