Finally got my day at @halconscificon.bsky.social ! The vendor room was spectacular as always, but most of my time was spent at the Writers' Federation booth meeting local writers and people-watching the incredible cosplays. 😊 Such a great event. Great work, all.

We all know publishing is much more than putting words on a page! A book is created by a team of skilled people beyond the author, and to excel in this industry is to include them all in our celebration!
In that spirit, TriCon welcomes three Guests of Honour—an editor, an agent, & a writer. 🎉📖🧵
