Our main focus at Booked Entertainment is connection. We all have our passion for connection in common: event hosts with their guests, performers with their audiences, and all story lovers with the adventures that touched their hearts. Booked Entertainment was established to be able to best communicate the ever-present skills and passions in our community of fantasy fans, resulting in the most memorable event experiences across the US and UK.

We pride ourselves in advocating for performers and events alike, in the journey of expressing our passions for fantasy stories and adventures.

Jane

I’m Jane of @overlydramaticjane. The idea for Booked Entertainment came from my own experience as a cosplayer in the bookish community facing the troubles of the time and money consuming processes of booking events across the country. Cosplaying is an expensive hobby that allows me to practice my passions, but it is hard to participate in efficiently when today’s economic climate requires me to have a more profitable full-time job while simultaneously pursuing my Master’s in communications. I found myself struggling with keeping up my social media profiles, seeking out performance opportunities, meeting with potential hiring hosts, signing/negotiating contracts for events, and creating/curating content for event hosts and growth.

I found my talented, beautiful friends in cosplay were also facing the same exact obstacles. I want to help.

I am a business girlie through and through. I started out with earning my BBA majoring in Operations and Technology Management as well as in Marketing. I am currently in the last few courses of earning my Master’s in communications, and am in three different business professional fraternities. To say the least, I am (and always have been) a nerd. I’ve grown from being a small-business Marketing and Operations Specialist to now helping make million-dollar decisions for a world-famous company (and yes, it’s terrifying).

The complex creature that I am, I have also always been drawn to the arts and performance world. My journey looks a little like: first with signing with an agency, dabbling in fashion shows and modeling, going to a performing arts high school, dancing hula, teaching hula, filming as a background actor/model in Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., character performance through volunteer organizations, beginning a career as a professional character performer with a world-famous brand, and now cosplaying in the BookTok & bookish community online and at events across the country.

My heart has always been with the art of connecting with other humans through being greatly impacted by stories and experiences. I am passionate about lending expertise to help one another so that we can all achieve what we dream of. I hope to exercise these personal dedications through my work with Booked Entertainment, resulting in: optimized opportunities, dreams come true, reality questioned, smiles hurting, favorite memories made, and relationships cemented for life.
