The Iridescence logo: the word Iridescence in black, with a phoenix in red and orange and outlined in purple next to it.

It's no April Fool - Iridescence 2026 (Eastercon) kicks off on Friday, so here's a wee reminder - with updates - of where you can find your GSFWC pals all weekend.

Bookmarks for Vera Brook’s debut short story collection Apartment Wars and Other Stories lie next to Vera’s Eastercon 2026 badge.

If you are at #Eastercon2026, I have bookmarks to give away!

Congrats!! It was a terrific event. Nothing more inspiring than the sound of twenty some writers typing intently on their keyboards. So many unique stories & novels being written!! ✍️✍️✍️

Thanks, @edinburghsff.com!

Have had a ridiculously productive day at the @edinburghsff.com write-in today - maybe some sort of magic writing dust in the air! And I think I've hit the midway of new folk horror WIP, which makes it feel officially like a real book...it's about to get weirder👀🖤

So. We need to fill our feed out a little. Tell us who we should be following for the good genre and genre adjacent stuff. Authors, reviewers, commentators, all the good people.

Fun, serious, wry, excitable - bring them all.
