I WILL SHOW UP IN PLACES IN 2018, and I figure it’s best I don’t do this randomly, without warning, like some kind of ghost or gopher.
Or gopherghost.
I figure to maximize my appearances, I should actually…
…well, tell you about them? It’s a radical idea, and I’m running with it.
Let us begin:
January 23rd
Book launch, The Raptor & The Wren, Let’s Play Books, 6:30PM, Emmaus, PA. Details here on the bookstore’s Facebook page. Come by, I’ll sign books, we’ll have a few laughs, we’ll talk about life and death and fate and free will and also porgs.
January 27th – 28th
Elgin Literary Festival, near Chicago, IL! I’m one of the guests, I’ll say stuff, we can talk about writing. It’ll be nice. Details here.
March 1st – 4th
Emerald City ComicCon! Very excited for this. Not sure of my schedule as yet but I hope it’ll be cool. Seattle is awesome and I’ve heard only aaaamaaaazing things about this con. ECCC Website.
March 24th
RWA Workshop (“Characters as Architects, Not Architecture”) in Austin, TX! 9AM to 2PM. Details here. Come say hi! Bring me a taco!
April 20-22nd
RavenCon in Williamsburg, VA! I’m the Author Guest of Honor, yay. You should go and it will be grand. Ravencon Website.
May 24th – 27th
Phoenix ComicCon! I again return to the scorching dry demon’s mouth that is Arizona — always a great time, let’s eat tacos and drink Cartel Coffee together and I mean, sure, something about books? PHXCC Website.
And I think that’s it for now, though I’m probably missing something.
SEE YOU IN THESE PLACES, hopefully.
Geekfest says:
Yes! ECCC is going to be super mega gophergosteryriffic this year.

Why don’t you come back to Tucson Festival of Books for spring break. Bring the kid and I’ll give him a cowboy hat!

Rebeca says:
Oh man. I love Seattle but I just got back from a trip there and don’t think I’ll get to go back so soon Dx
I hope you come back to Florida at some point. I think you were in Orlando like within the last year or so for a Star Wars event? I was too poor to go then but if you’re ever close to Miami again (as in…anywhere from Atlanta to the Florida keys) I’ll make sure to show up.
Have fun in Seattle! And I can’t wait to read The Raptor & The Wren 😀

Brenda says:
As this tumultuous year winds down, sending a general “thank you” for the laughs, commiserate political salve/commentary and, of course, sage writing wisdom. Your blog post is the one piece of “news” I’ve actually looked forward to reading this year.

“and lo, did a Wendig appear before me.”
I’ll see you in Elgin.

Alyssa Archer says:
Just signed up for Austin. I will bring queso as a sign of my devotion.

Sooooo close with the Austin event! Only about five hours away! (Seriously. Its friggin’ Texas. We measure any distance by time necessary to traverse, not by miles. Sigh.)
Can’t tell by the JJ Pickle event center link; is it a convention, or are you the Star Attraction? Of course you are…what a question!

Christopher Mark Rose says:
Mr. Wendig! How can we entice you to come read in Baltimore, at Charm City Spec?

Ravencon sounds great! Not to far from where I am now, either. Now to convince the spouse…

the photo makes me think you are shouting back at Sam Sykes….;)

Maj Patrick Raring, USAF says:
I see you’re not doing anything in Feb… feel like making a trek out for a USO-type event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia? I’d promise you won’t get a missile launched at us while you’re here but wouldn’t want to lie to you. Although, I also only have your books via Kindle out here and don’t know how you’d sign a digital copy of “250 Things You Should Know About Writing.”

You gotta come to the nothingness that is Syracuse for a signing or a class.

I had never heard of RavenCon, but it’s a couple hours down the road from me and sounds absolutely delightful. I’ll have to check it out now! And bring some book with a moose or something on it for you to sign.
