Last week, I traveled to Spokane, WA for Sasquan, the 73th WorldCon.
A lot of cool things happened that week – I got to hand-sell a bunch of Angry Robot books, hang out with our authors, and meet wonderful writers, readers, and fans. There were parties, publishing dinners, giveaways, and much more.
Here’s a quick Storify of highlights from the con, which is far easier than writing out a long con wrapup blog post.
Hi folks,
I hope to see many of you at LonCon 3 this week, where I’ll be supporting participating in panels, Angry Robot Authors, and having my first ever Literary Beer event at a very British hour of 11 AM. Expect publishing gossip, geekery, and/or marketing secrets.
On Wednesday at 6PM, I’ll be at Forbidden Planet for the Angry Robot/Titan event.
