Our Toastmaster and Grand Master Speeches
To keep the joy of our diamond-year at SFWA going, we were thrilled to announce early-bird pricing for next year’s Nebula Conference at this year’s Nebula Awards Ceremony.
From now until December 31, general registration to our 61st Nebula Awards Conference in Chicago, June 2-7, is only $250 USD.
We’ll touch base later about Nebula Banquet pricing, but for now: Spread the word about this limited-time discount to all our regular conference programming, and keep the magic of the Nebs alive! We hope to see you again soon!

Master Class with Tracey Baptiste
March 21, 2026 9:00 am to
9:50 am
Writing the book and making the sale are just two parts of a complex tapestry of talents required to connect with your audience as an MG and/or YA author. With the help of seasoned creator Tracey Baptiste, we’re going to learn about how to set up effective education materials to accompany your children’s books. This is a key skill for growing one’s presence in schools and libraries, so we hope to see you out to learn more.
