On October 25th revolutionary publisher and Northodox Press will be joining Humber SFF in Beverley.

Writers can discover what to expect in the submission process, while readers can follow the journey from idea to finished book. Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror fans can pick up novels inspired by Yorkshire and other northern counties. Those aspiring for a publishing career can learn how to get started.

Northodox Press have been breaking the publishing norms since 2020.

Tickets for 22nd November will be released via the Humber Speculative Fiction website.

The final event of the year will see the return of their popular open mic. Local genre writers will have the chance to share their work.
