Despite today's train travails I thoroughly enjoyed my 1st #fantasycon. I was on two great panels, and I got to do my first ever book reading, so thank you to the people who sat through it.

It was my absolute pleasure to moderate the panel on Climate and Eco Fiction. With thanks to my brilliant panelists, Lorraine Wilson, Brigid Lowe, and Joanne Hall, and to all the participants for joining us in the very last hour of #FantasyCon. 💚

#fantasycon started early today for the Art on Commission panel - the audience only *just* outnumbered the panel!

A photograph of four pencil sketch busts. The top left is a light skinned person with short dark hair and large glasses. They are labelled Simon McCall. The top right is a dark skinned person with ear-length dreadlocks. They are smiling widely and are labelled Chris Baker (Fangorn). The bottom left is a light skinned person with light hair in a bob. They are wearing glasses and labelled Margaret Walty. The bottom right is a light skinned person with long hair swept back from their face and draped over one shoulder. They are wearing glasses and are labelled Sophie Jonas-Hill. There is a note in the bottom corner of the page that reads "association of illustrators - licensing."

I was on the Death to AI panel yesterday with Donna Scott, Geoff Ryman, Stephen Cox and Chris McCartney (Bona Books).

*If this news is true* then the audience reactions we got indicate this is a terrible move

That’s #FantasyCon done for another year. A good weekend’s book selling.

I really enjoyed the panel on Creating Likeable Unlikeable Characters at #FantasyCon. Why do we end up loving the characters we are supposed to despise? And how to write them intentionally & well? A great discussion.

Well that was #Fantasycon. Great to see people, thanks for having me :)

@johncoxon.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 12:05 PM

I'm sure it's partly because it's my first Fantasycon but it does feel a bit hard to find certain things! I don't know how one sees the streaming for instance, I suspect if I were a BFS member it'd be clearer? #Fantasycon

@kaylaallen1965.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 12:01 PM

Time to shut down the @wtpress.bsky.social table at #FantasyCon 2026. Hope to see some of you at @bristolcon.bsky.social

Have reached the point of #FantasyCon where we can't carry any more books.
