FACTS welcomes authors!
Fantasy and other authors excel in creating worlds in our very heads, so we aim to pay tribute to these mind-bending wizards and witches at FACTS.
Be sure to also check the Reading Realm, heaven for book & comic lovers. Meet the authors, buy the books, and buy trinkets that improve your me-time in your reading chair.
Pitch your manuscript!
Have you written a story of your own, and you want the world to read it? Then come and pitch at Zilverspoor publishing house and Het Schrijverscollectief. Publisher Dimitri Balcaen (Het Schrijverscollectief) and Cocky Van Dijk (Uitgeverij Zilverspoor) will be present all weekend in Hall 4 and Hall 1 (D33) respectively. Print out your story and add a synopsis and a short bio with your details. Who knows, maybe your dream will come true!
