Cosplay Guest Secrets Revealed: The Comprehensive Guide to Booking Cosplay Guest Gigs

REVIEW for "Cosplay Guest Secrets Revealed" "Being a cosplay guest for the first time can be something of a scary subject. Knowing what to ask for, how to ask for it, and being confident to say no to a bad offer can be intimidating for cosplayers who usually have no business background. Having a frame of reference is extremely helpful in successfully navigating the world of guesting at conventions, even for experienced con-goers. Philip Odango's guide to cosplay guesting is incredibly useful for the many aspects of booking guesting appearances, from contacting conventions to securing favorable contracts. He provides an incredibly useful framework that others can use to build rapport with conventions, book successful appearances, and make sure guesting experiences are positive and rewarding. I would highly recommend this book for anyone thinking of guesting at cons or who have been invited for the first time." - Sayakat Cosplay
