Even our raffle is going socially distant. We're working with local independent bookshops J E Books, (Hull) Portal Bookshop (York) and The Rabbit Hole (Brigg) to give away 1 copy of each author's most recent book.

Our meet will be using Google Meet. It is simple to use and free to access (https://meet.google.com/). We will forward access details to ticket holders closer to the event.

All HumberSFF events are free, and we've done our best to keep it as safe as we can. If you would like to support Humbersff please use our Kofi donation page (https://ko-fi.com/humberspeculativefiction).
