TBRCon returns with TBRCon2026, an all-virtual sci-fi/fantasy/horror convention, streaming LIVE from July 26th-August 1st, 2026. Join us as we welcome 150+ authors, podcasters, bloggers, booktubers and more to the virtual stage for 21 livestream panels, 4 live podcasts and 1 RPG sessions. The sixth edition of our Stabby Award-winning convention aims to offer viewers countless in-depth discussions on fantasy, sci-fi, horror, writing craft, publishing, marketing and much more!
Best of all, TBRCon2026 is absolutely FREE, available to stream live on YouTube, Bluesky, X and Threads during convention week (or to re-watch on YouTube at your convenience at a later date). You can also find books by all our panelists down below to purchase!
TBRCon was founded by FanFiAddict in 2020 to uplift and giveback to authors during the pandemic. Since then, it has grown and become a two-time Stabby Award winning online conference, and as of 2026, the Before We Go Blog and Fantasy Book Critic blog have joined the team to continue to help TBRCon grow and become a large scale book community event.
If you missed out on being a part of TBRCon2026 as a panelist, moderator or sponsor and want to put your name in the hat for TBRCon2026, please fill out this form:
