We have a huge array of events taking place in August, as our authors from near and far gather in the UK for LonCon3, the 72nd World Science Fiction Convention in London. On this page, you can find a list of all of our author events, and we’ll try to update it as regularly as we can when new events get added in.
The Voyager team will also be in the Dealers’ Room at LonCon. We’ll be hosting a series of special events with our authors throughout the con (look out for more details soon), and you might get the chance to pick up a freebie or two, so make sure you pop along and say hello!
