By Matt Springer

A tale of sex, booze and geeks at Chicago’s fictional UnCon, Unconventional follows three friends as they love, laugh, and dare I say learn in a loving-yet-irreverent look at fans and fandom (oh, and one of them gets laid. Twice). From founding Alert Nerd Matt Springer, Unconventional is the first book (of millions!) from AN Press.

What people are saying about Unconventional:

“See, now this is what Fanboys wanted to be…The debut novel (or novella, as somewhat grumpily conceded in the Author’s Note) from Alert Nerd’s Matt Springer, Unconventional is, according to the front cover’s helpful summary, ‘a tale of sex, booze, and geeks’…pretty much in that order. And as unappealing as a book filled with drunk, naked nerds might seem, Springer makes it work, thanks to his effortlessly conversational writing and a plot that actually has less to do with Star Wars and Lord of the Rings than it lets on…Matt Springer is an author who deserves to be read.”
—Jeff Giles, Popdose

“This novella has its heart in the right place. Since I am a major fan of bromance, dude-centric stories, I loved it. If Alert Nerd keeps publishing novels like that, I predict I will read every single one of them.”
—Ana, The Book Smugglers

“This story must have been almost as fun to write as it is to read. Several of the extreme characters are clearly attempts by Springer to cast off his own inner super villains…Then again, Springer may not have been entirely successful in his attempts to cast out the inner geek: He dedicates the book to his fiancé, promising her that they will ‘live long and prosper!’ Oy.”
—Jeremy Lott, The American Spectator
