HOW DO I APPLY TO BE A PROFESSIONAL AUTHOR GUEST?
Showcase your epic talent and apply to FAN EXPO Portland for complimentary space in Author Alley as a Professional Author Guest. Spots are limited and the competition is fierce. Submit an application form, making sure to list all your qualifications and credits and a member of our Literary Guest team will be in touch if you are approved.
If you are interested in attending as a guest professional but are not an author, please complete the Professional Creator Application. This includes comic artists and writers, editors, filmmakers, producers, even multi-billionaires with secret underground cave headquarters who love dressing up in black and fighting crime.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Approval for space does not include travel and/or accommodations and should be discussed prior to application with a Guest Coordinator.
- If we are unable to grant one of the limited comp spaces available, all literary professionals are encouraged to indicate on the application you would like to participate as a Presenting Guest, which includes Guest webpage inclusion, social media promotion, and of course - programming. You may also purchase a space through the EXHIBITORS > ARTIST ALLEY menu above. Please indicate at that time whether you would prefer to be placed in Author Alley.
APPROVED LITERARY GUESTS WILL RECEIVE:
- One Guest show badge (non-transferable).
- One Guest Companion show badge (non-transferable).
- A table in Author Alley on the show floor.
- Appearance listing on the show website and select promotional materials.
Additional space can be purchased at regular Artist Valley rates through the EXHIBITORS > ARTIST ALLEY menu above. Please note on the application that you have a comp table in Author Alley and would like the purchased table(s) adjacent to the comp table, and contact the Content Coordinator (below) to minimize any potential confusion.
Pro Literary table applications are reviewed, and tables are assigned by Bruce MacIntosh, Author Lead.
