Conventions: Fall 2024

Baubles From Bones is going to conventions! 

With BFB:2 now out (available for purchase physically or digitally on our Etsy store), we have enough merch to fill a convention table! In addition to issue 1 and 2, we’ve also been cooking up sticker designs and some little zines, all made by the BFB team. We’ll have designs catered to each con we’re attending (cryptids, aliens, Welsh poetry, etc.), so there should be a fun, new surprise at each one! If you don’t want to buy anything, you can also see our bright, mostly-undead faces and have a chat with us. We're more lively than we may look!

Selling to the internet and our local community has been great, but one thing we learned from attending Confluence back in July is just how rewarding and fun it is to meet other writers and book-folk face-to-face. Tabling conventions is a great opportunity to do just that. So we’re excited to get out there, help build the community, and meet more like-minded ghouls and goblins!

​All convention dates are below with links attached. If you’re interested, come on by! We hope it’ll be fun.
