JordanCon is a fantasy conference spirited by the late Robert Jordan and his series the Wheel of Time. Always looking for a chance to cosplay, and an avid fan of the series as well as Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere, this was my second JordanCon. This time I found they have a writer’s track and promptly immersed myself in it.

A massive event that was slightly unsettling for a novice. Most of the focus there is on MFA, which I lack, it did however give me a chance to meet people and learn a lot about other parts of the industry.

I broached the idea of getting involved with a conference almost six months ago, finally making the plunge with a local event in Florida. Since then, I believe it has been one of the most influential moves in my writing.
