Welcome to the Society for the Promotion of Speculative Fiction, a California-based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing and celebrating the imaginative world of Speculative Fiction in all its forms. Our mission is to ignite imaginations, shape culture, and foster a thriving community of enthusiasts and creators who explore the limitless possibilities of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and alternative history.
At the heart of our efforts is BayCon, our annual convention that brings together fans, authors, artists, and industry professionals in a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere. BayCon offers an unparalleled platform for showcasing the latest trends, works, and ideas in Speculative Fiction, featuring captivating panel discussions, author readings, interactive workshops, gaming sessions, and more.
Beyond BayCon, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of Speculative Fiction creators through our grant & scholarship programs. These programs provide aspiring writers with the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to develop their craft and bring their imaginative visions to life.
