Martha Wells

This annual convention celebrates speculative fiction, film/TV, games and culture with a focus on feminist and social justice themes. The weekend is packed with panels, workshops, readings, gaming and much more. Guests of honor Rivers Solomon (author of Sorrowland and An Unkindness of Ghosts) and Martha Wells (author of the bestselling Murderbot series; new novel Witch King is out May 30) will also read at a pre-fest reception open to all, at 6 p.m., Thursday, May 25, Central Library. Note: The host nonprofit, Society for the Furtherance & Study of Fantasy & Science Fiction (SF3), has announced WisCon is taking a break from the full-on convention in 2024, so you don't want to miss this edition. Find the full schedule and registration info at wiscon.net.

media release: Join us the Thursday evening before WisCon for readings by our Guests of Honor, Martha Wells (she/her) and Rivers Solomon (fae/faer), at the Madison Public Library Central Branch, followed by book signing. A Room of One's Own is helping us organize this event, and they will have copies of Ms. Wells's and Mx. Solomon's books for sale. This event is free and open to the public.

We hope you’ll join us for WisCon 46 during U.S. Memorial Day Weekend, May 26-29, 2023! We are planning both an in-person and a virtual convention to maximize accessibility. See the WisCon blog for the latest plans.
