Ready to start tabling at conventions?  Or maybe you'd like to up your game!  Let me use my 7 years of convention experience+4 years of experience co-running How To Be A Con Artist  to help you get your table top-notch, help you design stellar, crowd pleasing merchandise, and help cast a whole new light on your art and comics.

My convention consultation tier is just $50, and will include personalized recommendations and advice on everything from table design to banner production to merchandise recommendations catered to your needs.  We can meet in person (Nashville area only), or via Skype/Google Hangout (video consultation) or through Discord (images/chat/voice) to help you prep for your first convention, or to help you up your game. My advice will set you on the path towards continued growth as you progress through your convention year.
