Interested in selling at PulpFest 2015? If your specialty is pulp magazines, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, original art, series books, dime novels, men’s adventure, true crime, digest, or slick magazines, Big Little Books, B-movies, serials and related collectibles, old-time-radio shows, or Golden and Silver Age comic books, then PulpFest is for you.
The people who attend PulpFest are vintage pop culture enthusiasts. So it’s a great place to sell science-fiction books, mystery and detective fiction, adventure or western fiction, original artwork, and more. And it doesn’t have to be old! Publishers such as Adventures in Bronze, Age of Aces, and Murania Press do well selling their pulp reprints and related materials. So do resellers such as Mike Chomko, Books and Martin Grams. Authors and new pulp publishers such as Dick Enos, William Patrick Maynard, and Airship 27 have found PulpFest to be a great event to market today’s pulp fiction.
PulpFest 2015 will have over 100 six-foot tables in its 15,800 square-foot dealers’ room. Wall tables will cost $80 and island tables will be $70. Dealers will also be required to purchase regular three-day memberships for themselves and their helpers. For those dealers who will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Columbus, PulpFest is pleased to offer a third table free for every two tables that they rent, a tremendous savings. That’s buy two and get one free to thank such dealers for helping to defray the convention’s substantial costs by staying at the host hotel.
We’ll also be holding a random drawing for two full membership refunds to PulpFest 2015. Two lucky convention attendees, including dealers, who prepay for their membership, book a room for three nights at the Hyatt Regency, and choose to attend our business meeting will get full refunds of their membership payments.
Our dealers’ room will be open at 10 AM on Friday, August 14th, and remain open until 4:30 PM. We’ll also have hours on Saturday and Sunday, August 15th & 16th. Please click the schedule button on our home page for more details. And don’t forget about our early-bird hours on Thursday evening, August 13th, from 6 PM to 10 PM, when dedicated fans of pulp and genre fiction will enjoy an extra four hours of shopping.
Throughout the coming months, we’ll be writing about the dealers who will be selling at PulpFest 2015.
