TriCon will be at @canconsffh.bsky.social! Look for our Executive Chair, @charlotteashley.bsky.social, in Ottawa the weekend of October 17-19 2025. She'll have TriCon swag & all the answers you could want about Kjipuktuk's newest literary event!

Come say hi and introduce yourself! 💙📚🔱

Itttt's spooky season!

Finally, our author guest of honour is Amal El-Mohtar! 🎉✨

Amal is an award-winning writer of fiction, poetry, & criticism, including the NYT bestseller This Is How You Lose the Time War, (with Max Gladstone.) Her solo debut, The River Has Roots, was published in 2025 by Tordotcom. Welcome, Amal!

Our second guest of honour is agent Kurestin Armada! 🎉✨

Kurestin is with Root Literary in New York, where she specializes in science fiction, fantasy, and graphic novels. Some of her recent titles include Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh and Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young. Welcome, Kurestin! 🎉🎉🎉

Oh my god, applogies! This is what we get for snipping copy. 😂 Correcting!

Our first guest of honour is editor Carl Engle-Laird!

Carl is a Hugo-nominated editor at Tor Publishing Group. He has worked on books that have won the Nebula, Locus, and World Fantasy Awards, including Gideon the Ninth, The Saint of Bright Doors, and Even Though I Knew the End. Welcome, Carl!

We all know publishing is much more than putting words on a page! A book is created by a team of skilled people beyond the author, and to excel in this industry is to include them all in our celebration!

In that spirit, TriCon welcomes three Guests of Honour—an editor, an agent, & a writer. 🎉📖🧵

TWO great opportunities from the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia!

The Charles R. Saunders Prize for an "emerging or early-career writer with a speculative fiction work-in-progress" and the Hal-Con 2025 zines are both OPEN for applications, and closing next month!

Yes, this is in the works! 😊
