Listen up, meatbags!
Angry Robot is coming to FantasyCon and we’re ready to party! Who’s with us? You? YOU? How about you in the corner, yeah you, holding all the books. Come and join us!
As usual, if this is your first con, you’re feeling a bit nervous or you just fancy sitting with some friendly faces, we’re more than happy to welcome you into our little gang, so look for the Angry Robot lanyards round our necks and come chat. This year we’re also really keen to talk about our forthcoming open door period (#AROpenDoor2017), so if you’re thinking of submitting and fancy talking through the process with us publicity manager Penny and editorial assistant Nick will be around all weekend and happy to chat.
If you want to catch up with our lovely authors, here’s a quick list of where they will be. As always the programme is subject to change, so do keep an eye on the official schedule, too.
