WorldShift 2026, the Speculative Fiction Writers’ Conference returns August 17-22. An online event not just for sci-fi and fantasy authors.
“Calling all rebels, worldbuilders, and dreamers of strange new things! Whether your story has dragons, forbidden romance, starships, secret rebellions, epic magic systems, or haunted houses with secrets in the walls, you can access all the craft techniques, insider insights, and confidence you need to turn your wild idea into a powerful, publishable novel.”
It’s a writers’ event with presentations and workshops, featuring many of our regular favorite speakers, a roll-call of authors and book coaches with proven expertise.
This year’s lineup includes Gabriela Pereira, Alexa Bigwarfe, Jessica Brody, event host Heather Davis, Savannah Gilbo, K. M. Weiland, Rhonda Douglas, Dani Abernathy, Julie Artz, Kat Caldwell, Sue Campbell, Rachael Herron, Stacy Juba, Trisha Jenn Loehr, Alice Sudlow and many more.
