Flights of Foundry

Convention Reading

September 26, 2025 @ 12:30 pm – September 28, 2025 @ 11:59 pm

Whether you’ve made it every year so far or this year is going to be your first, FoF2025 has something special waiting for you. We’re taking five years of experience with innovating virtual event spaces, multidisciplinary programming, and attendees from around the globe to make year six a year you won’t want to miss. Come for the adorable gryphons, stay for the amazing guests of honor, the meetup sessions, the craft challenges, and the most packed sixty hours you can fit into a single weekend.

Last year we radically opened up our program design process, collaborating directly with attendees. We’re taking that experience and bringing the collaboration back. With programming designed specifically to highlight our guests of honor as well as items our attendees asked for, this is going to be an event with something for everyone. Bring your friends, your colleagues, your fans, and prepare to talk about the creative life, the speculative arts, and that cool new thing you learned just last week.

Flights of Foundry 2023 Schedule Announced!

Events

Earlier this year, I blogged a list of things I’d like to achieve in my writing career [which is a little different than goals as a writer, though there’s some overlap] – from small to outrageous.

One of those was to start regularly being a panelist at prominent SFF conventions. And here’s the first on the list!

I’ll be taking part of Flights of Foundry, which is a virtual-only con happening on April 14th – 16th 2023, as both a panelist and reading a selection from Stories of the Eleriannan. *cue biodegradable confetti*

My schedule –

Saturday the 15th, 4pm EDT: Stories of the Fat Body, with Jennifer Spirko and Jennifer Hudak.

“Fat acceptance, body positivity, healthy at any size: fatness and awareness of the issues surrounding it is having a cultural moment. Panelists will discuss our stories about fat bodies, from the cultural touchstones that reinforce, or undermine, fatphobia, to ones with good fat representation. What are the tropes around fatness we’ve seen too much, and what do we want to see more of?”

Sunday the 16th, 6pm EDT: Reading with Christiane Knight

It’s free to attend and if you’re interested in speculative writing, art, comics, media, etc. then you should definitely check it out! You can register here: https://flights-of-foundry.org/
