Summary

Welcome to our new season! To celebrate, we’re kicking it up a notch by holding an all-star roundtable of some truly incredible writers. Vajra Chandrasekera, Samantha Mills, and Gregory A. Wilson join us to discuss didactic genre fiction. Is it a skill problem? Is it a media literacy problem? Can you hammer home a message without alienating (sorry/not sorry) your audience?

We're nominated for an Aurora Award for Best Fan-Related Work!

Check out the ballot (and consider casting a vote for us) at the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association.
