Are you interested in selling at PulpFest 2017? If your specialty is pulp magazines, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, genre fiction, 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 and lovers of genre fiction and art. 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.
The exhibition hall at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry will enable PulpFest 2017 to have over 100 six-foot tables in its dealers’ room. Wall tables — which are limited — will cost $90 and island tables will be $80. If you require an electrical outlet, there will be an additional $20 charge. Dealers will also be required to purchase regular three-day memberships for themselves and their helpers. You can download a copy of our registration form by clicking one of the “Register” buttons on our home page.
To book a room at the DoubleTree by Hilton, please click one of the “Book a Room” buttons our our home page. Two complimentary breakfast coupons are included in the DoubleTree’s nightly rate — a $30 value — as well as free wifi. Parking is free. Rest assured, PulpFest is very appreciative of all the dealers who help to defray the convention’s substantial costs by staying at the host hotel.
Our dealers’ room will be open at 10 AM on Friday and Saturday, July 28 – 29, and remain open until 4:45 PM. It will also be open on Sunday, July 30, from 9 AM until 2 PM. And don’t forget about our early-bird shopping hours on Thursday evening, July 27, from 6 PM to 9 PM, when dedicated fans of pulp and genre fiction and art will enjoy an extra three hours of shopping.
