VoyagerCon to be held in September with Kristoff, Hobb and Kuang

HarperVoyager has announced a weekend of fantasy and science fiction panels for readers and writers in September, headlined by Jay Kristoff.

VoyagerCon will kick off with Peter V Brett interviewing Kristoff about his new novel The Empire of the Vampire, to launch the UK series. There will also be talks with the likes of Robin Hobb and up-and-coming authors such as R F Kuang, Cari Thomas and Kester Grant.

The festival will run from 10th September until 11th September, and will be held virtually. Tickets are free and one ticket gives people access to all events. The first 100 people to sign up will receive a HarperVoyager proof, giving them the chance to read one of the imprint's new books before it has been published.

Natasha Bardon, publisher at HarperVoyager, said: "We’re so thrilled to be able to offer such a fantastic range of events to our readers and fans across the world. VoyagerCon gets better every year and it’s so important that we facilitate access to some of the biggest names in genre fiction especially at a time when travel is difficult and limited. Making the world of sff increasingly accessible and diverse is at the heart of what we do."
