Context Kudos

 

Here's what our guests and attendess have had to say about Context:

"If you get a chance to attend (Context) do so! It was a blast."
Raven Bower on Context 20

"I'll always have a soft spot for Context because it was there, in 2006, that I met Paula Guran and sold Blood Magic in the hallway in a frantic 5-minute pitch session. Even better, I met a boatload of extremely nice people, writers and fans, all of whom walked right up to me as if I were someone worth talking to."
Matt Cook on Context 21

"I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of the discussions. Still more impressive was the con suite: egg sandwiches, sushi, donated pizza from a local joint, buffet food such as meatballs and chicken tenders, etc. Everyone was accessible at virtually all times. I definitely recommend it."
Nick Mamatas on Context 21
