Imaginarium 2025 proudly welcomes NYT bestselling author Steve Alten as a Special Virtual Guest of Honor! Steve is known world-wide for his bestselling MEG series of novels, two of which have been developed so far into big budget theatrical films starring Jason Statham! The first film, The Meg, grossed over $530.2 million worldwide, and its sequel, Meg 2: The Trench, grossed over $397.7 million worldwide.
In addition to the MEG series, Steve has other highly successful series, such as The Loch series, and the Mayan Trilogy, the books of which were published by St. Martin’s Press/Tor Books and were #1 best-sellers in Spain, Mexico, and Argentina and best-sellers in Germany, and Italy, with the rights selling to more than a dozen countries.
Steve also founded Adopt-An-Author, a nationwide non-profit program designed to encourage students to read. Over 10,000 teachers have registered for the program, and the success rate in getting teens to read has been unprecedented.
The Imaginarium Convention has arranged with Steve to participate in special sessions exclusive for Imaginairum 2025 attendees via a remote connection (Steve no longer travels), on Friday, July 18th, and Sunday, July 20th, during the convention weekend.
We are honored to have Steve participate with us for our 12th year, taking place July 18-20, 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky! For further information on the Imaginarium Convention, please visit www.entertheimaginarium.com
