CRUSH Virtual Erotic Con — UPDATES
HEY HEY HEY CRUSHES!
Are you ready for the update? We are 76 days away from the launch of our annual Erotic Fun!
Things are about to get EXCITING!!!
LET’S TALK PANELS
Our author panels are FULL! You heard me, FULL! Pending anyone backing out we are 8 panels of 3 authors and 1 moderator. We have an assortment of experience coming to you, we even have an USA Today Best Seller kicking off the show on the Content Warnings panel.
Each author has been vetted and does have experience for the subject they are discussing. We wanted to ensure that it would be worth while for everyone attending.
If you haven’t attended author panels before, it isn’t about ‘teaching’, its about getting to know the genre and authors. This will be a great way for readers to get introduced to a new set of writers and for writers to potentially learn a thing or two.
LET’S TALK GIVEAWAYS
YES we have prizes and prizes and prizes! We are still accepting donations too. The more the merrier. Here is a quick list of the TYPES of giveaways, I will dive into the exact giveaway’s in a moment.
