The Book Depot had a wider range of titles, as well as an extremely popular SFWA Decoder Ring, which became the fashion accessory of the weekend. The highlight of the conference from an education perspective was a much-anticipated detailed analysis of science fiction and fantasy book sales presented by the Data Guy. Sponsors like Kickstarter and Draft2Digital were available to present options and answer questions. Programming was also expanded, with specific business topics for both beginner and more advanced indie and traditional writers. Many recent innovations, such as the Mentor Program and Book Depot, were even more successful than previously. Presented at Pittsburgh Marriott City Center on May 19, 2018įor the second year in a row, the SFWA Nebula Conference was held in Pittsburgh, building on past experiences to present a superlative event. Robinson and Telly Monster get up close and personal with Patrick Rothfuss before he presents the Nebula Award for Best Novel.
