Callan Park was shrouded in eerie mist the morning of the festival – a good sign for all things spec fic to come!
Throughout the day were panel discussions, kaffeeklatsches and many opportunities to network with industry experts and fellow writers. The event was filled with insights into publishing, genre and the writing process of a diverse range of spec fic writers.

Scientific fact or scientific fiction? True scientific details can help enhance and spur plot points, but don’t let an absence of this knowledge stall your writing. Imagination is what truly creates these worlds! #specfic19
