Meet the brains behind your favorite speculative fiction
JCCC’s literary convention introduces a series of author talks that are out of this world! Writers, enthusiasts, and pop culture fanatics alike are welcome to join us for JoCo ConVersations—a FREE celebration with speculative fiction’s most-popular authors.
Spend a day immersed in your favorite genre:
- Geek out in a talk with author Andrea Stewart
- Learn the craft through an author-led small-group workshop
- Enjoy a reception and book signing with Andrea
Meet new friends or bring a group. The talk and reception with Andrea Stewart are free and open to the public. RSVPs are required to attend the Writing Workshop.
Andrea Stewart is the daughter of immigrants and was raised in a number of places across the United States. Stewart is a Sunday Times Bestselling author whose short stories can be found in such venues as Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Daily Science Fiction, Galaxy’s Edge, and others.
Her debut epic fantasy novel, “The Bone Shard Daughter,” was a finalist for the Locus Award for Best First Novel, the British Fantasy Award for Best Novel, the Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy and Debut Novel, and the BookNest Award for Best Traditionally Published Novel. She now lives in sunny California, and in addition to writing, can be found herding cats, looking at birds, and falling down research rabbit holes.
