Introducing Based Book of the Day: Great Reads for $0.99 or Free
The Based Book of the Day website is live at BBotD.com!
Science Fiction · Fantasy · Books · Community
Smart people, strange worlds, and a weekend worth showing up for.
BasedCon 6 was another big success! We're busy planning BasedCon 7 and look forward to seeing you Sept. 10–12, 2027.
BasedCon brings together readers, writers, creators, and fans who still believe stories matter, conversation matters, and good communities are built around substance instead of trend-chasing.
What this is
Thoughtful, welcoming, and a little more independent-minded.
A convention for people who love speculative fiction, fantasy, publishing, serious storytelling, and being around others who still care about quality.
Dates + Venue
Plan the weekend.
Dates: Sept. 10–12, 2027
Location: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel GRR Airport
City: Grand Rapids, Michigan

Usually I have most of the panels planned by this point, but this year has been… special.
Last day to register for BasedCon 2026
Remember when I said I wasn’t going to have a firm deadline for registration this year?
Last Call: Advertising Opportunities in the BasedCon 6 Program
I’ll be finalizing the BasedCon 2026 program over the next few weeks, which means that I need to determine how much space I need to reserve for ads.
