World Fantasy Convention Updates
The World Fantasy Convention 2020 committee is ”hard at work designing an online convention that includes many of the elements you’ve come to identify with World Fantasy Convention – and maybe a few new ones.” They ”hope that our virtual convention will be attended by a diverse membership, many of whom are using their craft to create literature and art that not only entertain but introduce fantasy enthusiasts to a wide range of cultures.” The convention has ”received several offers to sponsor the memberships for people of color to participate in the Virtual World Fantasy Convention,” and encourages those interested to fill out a request form: <www.wfc2020.org/people-of-color-sponsored-membershi>. Members who paid more than $125 for their membership can choose whether the excess money gets refunded, donated to help with operating costs, or donated toward sponsored memberships for people of color. Memberships can also be transferred to next year’s WFC (to be held in Montreal, Canada November 4-7, 2021). Members were permitted to request full refunds before July 30, 2020.

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.
