so i just found out that the publisher i have my heart set on sponsors a horror movie convention. my boyfriend and i are involved with two other conventions that have bitter rivalries with the aforementioned convention.
the people who run "our camp" of conventions are really good friends with my boyfriend, let us in for free, one of the conventions gave my boyfriend a vendor table for free for a band he used to have and i'm sure both conventions would be super supportive if i got published and wanted to sell my book at their shows. the promoters, organizers, etc that we know have always been really really awesome to us and have a lot of bad blood with the people sponsored by my prospective publisher, have been treated like shit by the people who put on the convention, etc.
kind of a moral dilemma for me. just wondering if, should i get published by the place i'm looking at (i've looked around a lot and they're the best one i've found, i really like them), would i be obligated to appear at their convention and forbidden from appearing at our friends conventions?
