Time for a quick update! Strap in, folks, it’s time to talk conventions!
As you may likely know, the weekend before last I was honored to be at Planet Comic Con in Kansas City, alongside the incredible Bard’s Tower crew. It was a fun, exciting, and at times crazy stressful week! Greyhound both delayed my trip and then got me to Kansas City days early, forcing all sorts of financial juggling as I hunted down a place to stay that didn’t make me broke, then the first two days of the convention itself were intense. In the end, though, everything worked out for the best: we did solid on sales, I got to enjoy time with my colleagues, and I continue to learn and develop as an author and, to be frank, a salesman.
Important tip to all my fellow writers and authors: You’re not just selling your writing, you’re selling yourself.
As for my next convention, I’ll be flying solo at Mobicon in Mobile, Alabama. It runs the length of Memorial Day weekend so I hope to see you there! Expect more convention news to come in the coming weeks!
Until next time, good reading, good writing, and good luck!
Sounds like a blast! I hope some day to be able to afford to work out-of-town conventions. I REALLY need to expand my audience.
