All of us at Can*Con are very excited to see our good friend @kateheartfield nominated for the 2023 Ottawa Book Award in English fiction for 'The Embroidered Book'! biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/2023-ottawa…

Our friends at Atthis Arts are in the home stretch of a Kickstarter for an anthology of SFF from Ukraine and the diaspora! This looks like an awesome collection giving a platform to important voices. kickstarter.com/projects/atthi…

Ottawa friends! We will be at Can*Con October 13th-15th. Want to save yourself some shipping? Order between now and October 11th and we can bring your books with us. You can pick them up from the dealer's room. (We will obviously still ship out earlier if that's preferred!)

We are so excited to have ghosts at our con!

We advert you to a small misprint in our recent newsletter: on this (!!!) Friday the vendor's room will open at 5pm as previously announced, not 3pm.

Online Registration is open (until we sell out!) until October 11th! If we still have tickets, they will be on sale at the registration desk starting at 3pm on Friday. There are also slots remaining for Can*Con*Virtual go here: can-con.org

We *also* still have spots available for Friday workshops with Lydia M. Hawke is owning her cronehood, John W Partington, Arley Sorg and @julieczerneda! These are all great chances to work on your craft with industry pros! Go here: can-con.org/registration-a…

Hi, all! Off to Can*Con tomorrow morning, offline until Monday morning seeing all my friends in Canadian sf and fantasy, and being on panels and such! My good friend Marie Bilodeau is launching a great new novel, OATHBREAKER, and @julieczerneda and I will be toasting her.

Can*Con Day One! Our registration desk opens at 3 pm if you still need to get your tickets. The vendors' room is open to the public (masks required) and opens at 5 pm. So excited to get #CanCon2023 underway!

As Can*Con 2023 winds down we want to thank all our panelists, volunteers, and attendees for another fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for coming and sharing wonderful stories together. We're already looking forward to Can*Con 2024!
