Panel Discussion: Weirdos Writing for Weirdos: A Contemporary Approach to Speculative Fiction
Advertisement
Sci-fi, fantasy, and horror used to be the outcasts of literature, but now more than ever these speculative genres are growing in popularity–and in quality. With huge properties like Fourth Wing, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and other “weird” series running rampant across the NYT bestseller lists, it’s evident that readers crave these odd genres, and more and more authors are answering the call to deliver captivating stories–many of them independent of traditional publishing altogether.
