Kat Kourbeti
Writer, Organiser
Spectrum Writers London, ConTamination 2020
Kat is a queer SFF writer, and one of the recipients of the Chairs Inclusion Initiative for ConZealand.
She co-organises the London Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Group, Spectrum, and is also on the concom for ConTamination 2020, a new virtual science fiction convention with a pandemic theme, set to take place in September.
She has been in fandom for most of her life and, contrary to what her glaringly North American accent might suggest, is in fact from Greece.
