Fandom, Fame, & the Author/Reader Relationship

Description
Tessa Gratton (they/them) and Chelsea Abdullah (she/her) talk honestly about what it's like when readers feel entitled to a piece of you, the good parts of building a devoted fanbase, and where they've had to draw a line. Candid, a little raw, and worth catching if you've ever sent an author a DM you maybe shouldn't have or cringed at actors reading fanfiction on a press tour. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot early. VIP pass holders get priority seating.
