Readercon.

So, I'm looking over cons in my area, and I run across the website for Readercon. And now I defer to those professionals among my friends.

I'm a small press author. I didn't sign up to be a presenter, and I can only make it for Saturday. Is this worthwhile for me to go to?

Also, can anyone suggest any others that it might behoove me to go to? I'm going to be having the 2nd book of the Apocalypse Cycle out next year, so I'm looking at promoting. However, I'm working on a limited budget, both monetarily speaking and time speaking, so I'm not looking at travelling all over the US (although I would love to!).

Any suggestions? And yes, if there are online courses on promotions that you can recommend (free or otherwise), I'd be interested.

Thanks!

1. May I crosspost this to my Journal. There are ReaderCon folks there.

2. Are you on Arisia? Folks there might now.

3. If you go, you could come visit the chocolate/dessert party Saturday night.

1. Certainly! Thank you!
2. I've never been to Arisia - personal stuff has kept me away, even though I know it's right down the road. The fact that it always happens right around Birka doesn't help, either.
3. Hmm, very tempting! I'd have beard5 with me and possibly one other non-Scadian, though. Is that okay?

1. I will.

2. OK.

3. Yes.
