FenCon XIV - September 22-24, 2017

Join us for tea this weekend!

The Mad Hatter hasn't confirmed his attendance yet (because he's mad and that's how he rolls), but we hope you'll join us at ConDFW in Dallas for a tea party. We'll be serving treats and offering membership specials in the con suite on Saturday, Feb. 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. Any membership purchased at the party will be $5 off.

And the party will also be your first chance to register for the FenCon Writers Workshop. For $40 plus a FenCon membership, you get an intense writing workshop with special workshop guest Cat Rambo. Cat will do an in-depth critique of a submitted piece, a First Pages read in front of the class of a second piece, and will present information on market research, social media, revising, and making the most of conventions. The workshop begins before the convention, with sessions on Thursday night and Friday morning, and additional sessions during the convention. Registration opens at 2 p.m. on Feb. 13, either online or at the party, and is limited to the first 15 participants. This workshop is sure to sell out quickly, so hurry to get your membership and register.

Thank You!

If you have not already done so. please contact hotel@fencon.org and let us know so we can make sure your room is on the same floor with the rest of fun. This will help prevent noise complaints and make your party even better. (you don't want to be the only one who gets shut down by the hotel, do you?)

The 14th floor is our active floor.
