The Nebula Conference & Events

Some agents, editors, and publishers advise authors to develop a brand. This branding sets the expectation that an author will stick to one genre, one style, or one format. But there’s a value to being versatile, too. This panel will discuss how and why authors should make and break their own mold.

The December Romancing SFF Meetup will be a social gathering to build your romantic SFF network. Bring your 2023 goals to share with others. We’ll have breakout rooms for marketing, craft, spice level, and reading recommendation discussions. In January we’ll resume regular programming with a speaker at the beginning of each meetup. And we’ll be starting with Charlaine Harris, author of the Gunnie Rose, Sookie Stackhouse, Aurora Teagarden books and so many others!

Whether it’s enemies to lovers, love triangles, arranged marriages or shifters, highlighting tropes is a useful tool to help connect the right readers to the right story. As writers, knowing how to break down tropes to their essential pieces and create a unique spin that avoids cliche will bring readers back for more. Join us and find out how to harness tropes in your writing and your marketing, romance or not!

Please save the date for our annual business meeting! We hope you will join the SFWA Board of Directors, staff, and key volunteers as they share what they’ve been doing, where the organization is going, and respond to your questions.

Come hear how we’re working for you, all writers in our genres, and the genre community at large!
