Fanfic, cosplay, cons, books, memes, podcasts, vlogs, OTPs and RPGs and MMOs and moreits never been a better time to be a girl geek. THE FANGIRLS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is the ultimate handbook for ladies living the nerdy life, a fun and feminist take on the often male-dominated world of geekdom. With delightful illustrations by Kelly Bastow and an unabashed love for all the internets and outs of geek culture, this book is packed with tips, playthroughs, and cheat codes. Plus insightful interviews with fangirl faves, like Jane Espenson, Erin Morgenstern, Kate Beaton, Ashley Eckstein, Laura Vandervoort, Beth Revis, Kate Leth, and many others.

Sam Maggs is an associate editor for The Mary Sue. Named 2013s Awesome Geek Feminist of the Year by Women Write about Comics, Sam and her work have been featured everywhere from Space TV and Cineplex pre-show screens to 102.1 The Edge and Marie Claire.

This event is co-presented by Penguin Random House Canada, Quirk Books, and TCAF 2015.
