Euro Pride Con 2015 - 11/12 July 2015


In which I am a featured speaker :O

Registration is now open for Euro Pride Con 2015!

What is Euro Pride Con?

Euro Pride Con is a gathering of fans of LGBT fiction and media

11/12 July 2015 in Munich, Germany coinciding with the city’s Pride celebrations that attendees will have the option to be a part of!

The convention itself will offer the chance to fans of LGBT fiction to meet authors and publishers, discuss their favourite books, trade ideas, and generally hang out with a group of like-minded people.

In the USA, there’s several LGBT fiction conventions that run through the year, however there’s only one in the whole of Europe (the brilliant UK GLBT Fiction Meet) so Euro Pride Con will be the first LGBT fiction meet in mainland Europe! Euro Pride Con will bring together writers and readers from all over Europe to get together over one fantastic weekend.

Munich is a beautiful city and a great choice for the first year of the convention. It’s fairly central in Europe and has an international airport. The convention will be held at the Sheraton Arabella Park, a beautiful hotel right in the centre of the city.

What does the schedule look like?

We’re still currently hammering out the finer details of the schedule, although we already have guest speakers in RJ Scott and Jay Bell, who’s book Something Like Summer is being adapted into a movie.

At Euro Pride Con we're hoping to offer something slightly different during the day. Instead of front-led panels, we’ll be hosting a series of interactive workshops on a range of different topics. These workshops will be led by any combination of author, reader, reviewer and publisher, which we hope will expose all attendees to a range of different thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints.

If you’d like to be involved in a panel please email us at europridecon@gmail.com – spaces are filling up quick, so don’t wait too long!
The convention will start on Saturday, however, for anyone who arrives in the city early there will be activities planned in the city on Friday afternoon.

  1. I would love to go but I'm doing something much more exciting then. I'm going to be taking care of my brand new (and first) grand-baby (due July 5)
