“…As I was saying!”
 
Fantastic Books is gearing up to publish …As I was saying! The book will be a collection of funny, horrifying, sweet, depressing, outlandish, and true tales of life and encounters at conventions. And we’re looking for your stories!
 
Tell us your stories about things that happened at conventions. Give us your conventional stories that aren’t very conventional.
 
We focus on science fiction conventions, but we’re willing to expand our horizons a bit to comic cons, writer conventions, media conventions, things that are close.
 
Fantastic Books publisher Ian Randal Strock (who has attended more than 200 of them himself) and editor Michael A. Ventrella (who is responsible for Release the Virgins, Three Time Travelers Walk Into…, and the sequel anthology to “The Eye of Argon”) will be co-editing the book. Amazing Stories has graciously agreed to host the submission form at this link: https://amazingstories.com/convention-stories-for-fantastic-books/
 
So please, share your stories; we’re dying to hear them.
 
Note: the title comes from Michael’s own contribution to the book.
 
Also note: this is an unpaid appearance. If the book sells outlandishly well, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to an appropriate charity.
