Do you love science fiction and fantasy?
Are you a sci-fi or fantasy writer?
Do you teach English?
Or are you a fan of sci-fi and fantasy games and movies?
As the website says: Come to GeyserCon, New Zealand’s 40th National Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention.
There will be heaps going on, from writing workshops by international guest authors for youth of all ages, an all-weekend Book Expo, events with international cosplay guests, workshops on writing fight scenes, fantasy mapping, cover design, the nuts and bolts of writing and editing, using mythology, marketing your books, fantasy makeup, zines, cosplay, filking, making your own ray gun, board gaming, a radio play and finding out the latest news from Weta and loads more!
I will certainly be there (I’ve been invited to be on one of the panels). I hope I see you there too!

A fantasy fan since being read 'The Hobbit' by her father at the fireside at the age of six, S R Manssen has been an avid bookworm her entire life. She is the multi-award nominated author of The Realmshift Trilogy – a YA fantasy fiction trilogy comprising four books (I know!). Sharon had a multi-cultural upbringing, attending high school in Belgium (in Flemish) and working 9 years in Bangkok, Thailand. It was there she realised she had a story inside her which she then proceeded to write over the next ten years, squeezing writing in between raising a family and working full time as a professional engineer. Her books have variously been finalists in the Tom Fitzgibbon Award, the SJV Awards and the Caleb Awards. She served as the President of Tauranga Writers for nearly 5 years and has been the President of SpecFicNZ since 2022. She is a StartWrite Manuscript assessor and Youth Mentor with NZSA.
