Starting to look for them now. Fright Reads is at the end of next month, and the Renn Faire’s in October, but I need to track down a few one-day venues with reasonable table fees. I’ve come to the conclusion that I just can’t count on enough business from the larger cons; which is a shame, because the staff for the last one I did (RisuCon) was excellent. But I’m maybe better off finding libraries and town festivals around here to hit.
Suggestions welcome.
I’m doing Fright Reads in October, so I know that one — but I’d like to get some more vending opportunities in this fall to sell my books. I’ve already seen the Silver Spring seasonal fairs, but I can’t afford to spend $300 on a table*. I’m looking for book fairs or cons that are FSF/Horror friendly, and preferably ones that are relatively easy to get to. Suggestions welcome!

*I’m not saying it’s a bad investment. I’m just saying that I’m unlikely to sell out my entire stock at a seasonal fair, which what it would currently take for me to make a profit under those circumstances.
