The World Fantasy Convention is a professional networking event that regularly attracts several hundred of the top authors in the field every year. Editors, agents, critics and PR professionals make up the bulk of the rest of the attendees. We have provided a press pack (PDF) including a list of named authors available for interview and information about local events that our members will attend.

The convention is also home to the World Fantasy Awards, one of the world’s top awards for speculative fiction. These are presented at a gala banquet on the Sunday afternoon. Opportunities for press coverage will be available.

A Press Office will be available at the convention. It will be in the California Room of the Fairmont. The opening hours are as follows:

Thursday Oct 29th: Noon – 5:00 PM
Friday Oct 30th: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Saturday Oct 31st: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

A “studio” room will also be available for conducting interviews and photo shoots. Access to the studio will be by appointment only. Please apply to the press office for a booking.
