If you are a pubbed author,
publishing house, cover artist, editor, GLBT book group, GLBT review site, etc.
Then this is for you. On December 6 – 8, 2013, there will be a GLBT Book Fair
called ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows’ at Bent-con in Los Angeles. During
these three days, there will be a cover model contest, a formal ball, panel discussions, a book signing, and a chance to meet, greet, and get your
work out there to another audience.
For those who aren’t familiar
with Bent-con, it has been described as the ‘Gay comic-con’. But it’s so much
more than that. This con gathers together those LGBT individuals in the Arts
& Entertainment Industry and gives them a chance to showcase, sell, and discuss
their work. To be among like-minded individuals in a safe and fun environment.
It’s also a chance to speak with fans, those who are curious, and even those
wanting to get into the business.
For those who are familiar with
Bent-con, this would be a golden opportunity to introduce your work to another
audience. To talk about the genre, network, or just enjoy being surrounded by
those who share your love of the craft.
Further details will be coming
soon and registration will be on a first come first serve basis. An
announcement will go out when registration is up. But if interested now, or
just have question, please contact myself, Kimberly Hunter, or Deborah L.

This sounds fun, fabulous and incredibly informative. "Flamers, Twinks, & Bears. Oh my!" What more can one say, lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, thought that would reel in the curious. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting. I would actually love to participate on a panel. I will most likely be attending, and am looking forward to this opportunity to mingle with those of like mind. I'm a Gay Erotic Romance author and reader as well. I will be watching for the registration information!
