1. I’m using the slogan “Virtually the First One”, ’cause AmazingCon is a virtual convention and the first one. Also because if/when we host a live AmazingCon, we can still call that convention AmazingCon1, and because I think it a clever pun. Don’t you think it’s clever? Even witty maybe?
Fine. Come up with your own.

AmazingCon will be hosted on Zoom and will take place on June 12 thru June 14, 2020.
Over forty authors will present readings from their current and up-coming works, including several soon-to-be-released novels.
In addition to discussion panels, several writing workshops will be offered as well.*
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED (with donation or without) in order to receive an invitation and password for access to the event.
PLEASE NOTE: Your verification email may take some time to process as there is a manual stage involved. You can expect to see verification within 24 hours of registering. If 24 hours have passed and you have not received verification, please contact Steve@amazingstories.com
*Attendance at individual Writing Workshops is limited and requires a special invite. When registration for workshops opens up, you will receive an email notification, offering you an opportunity to sign up. Availability of space in a workshop will be first come, first served, based on email responses. PLEASE NOTE: If you sign up for a workshop, you are expected to attend the entire workshop, which may involve multiple sessions over two or three days of the convention. Please be responsible when signing up.
