A Word From Mark

Mark Bogner

Hello folks. My name is Mark Bogner and I’m one of the coordinators of this convention, a self published author, and overall – an idea generator. Sometimes my brain puts out so many ideas, that I get myself into trouble.

Part of this convention was partially my brain child. But, I started working with Marcus V. Calvert and Weston Kincade and it snowballed after that.

Anyway, I digress.

So far, we are choosing between two venues in the greater Akron area that will, no doubt, fit this supreme literary extravaganza. With this event, we are looking to host Authors (of course), artists, publishers and more. And, let’s not forget about the panels and workshops on writing, publishing, and more.

Once we nail down our venue, we will be opening up vendor booth/table sales soon – so, stay tuned.

As the young kids would say, “it’s gonna be lit” – or whatever it is they say, now-a-days. I wouldn’t know. I’m in my early 50’s. (That felt weird to type it out, like that. Now, it’s like… set in stone, or something.)

I digress, again.

Having said all that, we are going to be looking for volunteers to help with the day-to-day goings on, as well as volunteers for the weekend of the convention.

Volunteer Positions Needed:

  • Social Media (help manage and post when needed – also answering DMs)
  • Vendor Relations (booking and service)
  • Floaters (days of event to help cover tables when a vendor wants a break)
  • Panels/Workshops (scheduling prior to event and coordinating the day of)
  • Admissions (days of event for ticket and admissions sales)
  • More to come

If you’d like to volunteer with us, you can do so, here.
