SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla- There’s something for everyone at this year’s Nerdier Than Thou literary con: a conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry (as well as sessions with Florida writers Jeff Carroll, Kenzie Jennings, and Tenea D. Johnson), a Lord of the Rings panel (for those upset about missing the Hobbit reunion at MegaCon this year), a presentation on Sci Fi Survival Skills, and much more!

“Originally, we were going to cancel this year’s Nerdier Than Thou event because of the pandemic but the thought of that made us so sad that we decided to pull together a last-minute virtual con. And we’re pretty excited about the programs we’ve organized,” said event organizers in an email.

All programming is free. Zoom log-in information is in each event description (click the link). These events will also stream live on the Wordier Than Thou Facebook page.
