Endeavour Writers Conference
A one-day celebration of speculative writing and the Endeavour Award! More details about my appearance to come.
The Endeavour Writers Conference is built around the Endeavour Award, celebrating the craft, business, and community of speculative fiction in the Pacific Northwest. The Endeavour Award honors authors of distinguished science fiction or fantasy books, either novels or a single-author collections of stories, created by writers living and working in the Pacific Northwest. (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, The Yukon, and Alaska.) The Award first was presented in 1999 and was historically presented at the Portland, OR-based OryCon convention. With OryCon on indefinite hiatus, the Endeavour Writers Conference team is carrying forward the tradition and will present the award during a conference that celebrates the craft and business of speculative fiction in the greater Pacific Northwest.
