Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award–winning author Mary Robinette Kowal (The Lady Astronaut series) headlines this year’s festival with a conversation about alternate histories, resilience, and the stories that prepare us for the future.

This signature event honors Bradbury’s legacy by spotlighting contemporary authors who embrace curiosity and civic imagination.

This event will be held in partnership with Tomorrow Bookstore at Indy Fringe’s Basile Theatre.
