ArmadilloCon 2025

It was a busy weekend in Austin. ArmadilloCon also hosts a writers workshop on the Friday before the Con, then a whirlwind of panels, meetups, and connections between authors, readers, and industry professionals. Like last year, White Gold Wielders, a critique group originally based in Austin, met to attend and sit on panels, hawk books published by its members, and have the rare opportunity to meet in person.

The WGW Books for Sale Table (and a few WGW denizens)

ArmadilloCon offers a writing workshop every year, where submitted short stories (or portions of a larger work) are critiqued by a small group of peers and two instructors. I’ll run it next year and am excited to see the submissions. There’s also a prompted flash fiction contest. More on all that next spring.
