ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The Gen Con Writer’s Symposium is a professional symposium for writers of speculative fiction. Although we love the games Gen Con offers (we play them too), our program is purely about writing and the business of writing.

The Symposium is one of the largest and fastest growing professional events for speculative fiction writers in the world, and in 2015 we offered nearly 185 hours of programming, welcomed an estimated 2700 unique visitors, and featured 80 authors and experts.
