Given the high volume of event requests we've been receiving, George will only consider paid events for which travel and hotel accommodations are also covered. George only considers event requests through their agent.
George is not taking unsolicited blurb requests or unpaid editorial requests for the foreseeable future, given their ongoing anthology and Mizna work.
