Alexander Weinstein has more fantastic stories for you…

So, it’s a bad-news-good-news kind of day. Unfortunately Kelly Link will not be able to join us at the fest after all (that is the bad news) but we’re delighted to announce that Alexander Weinstein will be coming instead to join our Fantastic Stories panel (that is the good news.) Some of you may remember Alexander for a very entertaining online conversation with Amber Sparks in 2020. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to Unbound - this time in person!
