Ellen Datlow was kind enough to forward pictures from last weekend’s Readercon 25 held in Burlington, MA. The galery can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/35025258@N00/sets/72157645746533993/
Readercon is an annual conference or convention devoted to “imaginative literature” — literary science fiction, fantasy, horror, and the unclassifiable works often called “slipstream.”
A typical Readercon features over 150 writers, editors, publishers, and critics, attracting prominent figures from across the U.S., and from Canada, the U.K., and occasionally even Australia and Japan. They are joined by some 600 of their most passionate and articulate readers for a long weekend of intense conversation.
Readercon is the only convention ever to be honored by a World Fantasy Award nomination (Special Award, Non-Professional, 2010) for its organizers.
This year’s Readercon featured Guests of Honor Andrea Hairston & Kit Reed.
