Chicago Tribune's Printers Row Book Fair 2008


This past weekend, the Lost Genre Guild and Catholic Writers Guild shared a booth at the Chicago Tribune's Printers Row Book Fair. We had a great time networking with each other and many writers who stopped by our tables. Some folks even bought books!

Check out the Underground Message board to view more photos of the event: look for the board titled "News in the Christian Publishing Industry" and the "General Board."
