Summer School in Forks Convention

More Goodies from Twilight Lexicon



SSIF is geared towards an adult audience, and parents should be advised that some programming may contain mature themes and language.
It is held at the REAL Forks High School June 25-28, 2009. It is the only literary symposium, anywhere, dedicated to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga.



For full details go to the Summer School in Forks Webpage


The Summer School in Forks Convention has announced the discussion panels. The ones that the Lexicon staff is participating in/leading are BOLDED. These Ladies are AMAZING and will surely provide so much insight and intrigue in the panels they are involved in.
