Congratulations to our Future Guests
We're all focused on ICFA-27, but let's look ahead for a moment to ICFA-28 next year.
The theme will be "Gender and Sexuality in the Fantastic." Our Guest of Honor will be Geoff Ryman, our Guest Scholar will be Marina Warner, and Special Guest Writer will be Melissa Scott.
Geoff Ryman's novel Air (2005) has just won the Tiptree Award, while Marina Warner, who was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2005, will be granted a Degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa by The University of Oxford later this year. Congratulations to both of them.
Next week, while we're celebrating the contributions to the field of the fantastic by our wonderful guests Charles Vess, M. Thomas Inge, and Kathleen Ann Goonan, take a few minutes during coffee or paddling your feet in the pool to think about what you'd like to see at next year's conference. You'll find proposal forms in your registration package, and a drop-off box for submitting those forms at the registration desk.
