FACTS welcomes authors!

Fantasy and other authors excel in creating worlds in our very heads, so we aim to pay tribute to these mind-bending wizards and witches at FACTS.

Be sure to also check the Reading Realm, heaven for book & comic lovers. Meet the authors, buy the books, and buy trinkets that improve your me-time in your reading chair.

Author Panels & workshops

Have you written a story of your own, and you want the world to read it?
