Authors: The Writers’ Block is being provided as a 100% free service to authors who attend Penguicon – we will sell your books at retail price (plus sales tax) in order to allow you to enjoy our convention, participate in readings, and get to know our attendees without having to sit at a table. If you’ve written a book and you’d like to participate, you are welcome – please email writersblock@penguicon.org for details or come up to the Writers’ Block rooms on the 3rd floor.
