Small Press Expo

I live in San Francisco, but my illustrator lives in Baltimore, and I've been thinking of attending Small Press Expo this year in Bethesda, MD. I'm looking at it as an opportunity to pitch a sample proposal for a new graphic novel I'm working on, and if it's not a great venue to meet publishers and try to get deals made, I might skip it and wait for WonderCon...

Anyone have experience with SPX?

Yeah, I went to San Diego as well as APE and WonderCon here in SF last year. Was going to wait on this year's WonderCon rather than making the trek out to the east coast, so you've convinced me that's the right way to go.

He does indeed live in Baltimore, but if you think I'm sharing him you're crazy...

He's actually still an undergraduate, although moving up very quickly. He's busy as hell right now, balancing schoolwork with these freelance things, and we just worked out a deal where he's getting school credit for working on my project, which is very cool. He's got a long list of people who want to work with him, but I'll let him know that you might be interested...
