K.B. Wagers has a bachelorโs degree in Russian Studies and their non-fiction writing has earned them an Air Force Space Command media contest award for best guest writer. A native of Colorado, they currently live in the north of the state with plenty of access to hiking trails. They are a firm believer in the importance of rest and have given several talks on burnout and the deluge of toxic productivity especially in the publishing industry.
K.B. has an avid interest in martial arts and non-violence, seeing these two things as flip sides of the same coin rather than paradoxical ideas. They enjoy whiskey and coffee in unequal measure, would gladly live in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Horizon Zero Dawn (until they were likely felled by a machine). During the hockey season you can find them buried under an Avalanche and the rest of the year they defend the managed democracy of Super Earth with the other Helldivers.
K.B. is the author of the NeoG Adventures from Harper Voyager and the Indranan and Farian War trilogies from Orbit Books. They are a fan of whiskey and cats, Jupiter Ascending, and the Muppets.

She has exhibited at many Worldcons and World Fantasy cons and has been artist GOH at numerous conventions.

Guest Application
RavenCon strives to create an original guest list every year. We work diligently all summer long to finalize our guest list for the following year. We book approximately 110 guests each year and offer over 300 hours of programming. We want to introduce the attendees of RavenCon to talented new writers and artists and allow them to meet and interact with them. RavenCon is the con of opportunity; itโs a place for people to network, create bonds and friendships, meet new people, read new books, see new art, to find a new writer or artist to follow.
If you would like to participate as a guest, please fill out the Guest Application. We require our guests to participate in a minimum of four (4) hours of programming. If you are accepted as a guest, you will receive 2 badges (large groups will receive badges based on the number of people participating in programming). Any financial reimbursements or compensations (hotels, travel, etc.) are reserved for our Guests of Honor only.
Applications for RavenCon 2026 are now open!
