Web designer and editor Nathan E. Lilly is combining two of his projects—Thaumatrope and Convention Finder—to offer a new service.
Thaumatrope is “a science fiction fantasy and horror ezine that happens to be the first paying twitter magazine. Convention Finder is “a convention list that allows you to find local conventions by typing in your zipcode.”
Now Lilly is offering fiction originally published on Thaumatrope to conventions to use in their program books. Lilly says “the pilot convention for this is Balticon. It’s a great service for conventions, allowing them to fill in gaps in their page layout and discover new local writers. And it’s a great service for writers, because it lets them get their fiction in front of potential fans.”
For more information, for either writers or conventions, see this Convention Finder page and this Thaumatrope page.
