AmazingCon UpDates

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.

2. Here is a list of our Guest Stars (so far):

This is the text that appears on the registration page, which I suspect some registrants are not reading.  Please note the information regarding verification emails and the information regarding the process of registering for one of the Writing Workshops.

Register for the upcoming AmazingCon, donations are suggested but are not required. Anyone donating $25 or more gets a digital bundle of our first year’s issues, four in all, of Amazing Stories!

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

Thanks to Artist, Fan Artist, Author, Musician Al Sirois (whose art should be familiar to most, if not all) we now have our program book cover (book will be delivered after the convention), a T-shirt design and a Convention Mascot:

What do we call our Mascot, that blue, propeller powered blob in a space helmet?

The T-shirt is now available for order through our store.

*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.
