MEET YOUR TEAM
Knotty in New York would be nothing without the amazing people in the reader, author, kink, and sex-positive communities. This event is dedicated to you. May you bask in all your smutty, savory glory.
The team at KiNY hope to do you justice in 2027 and many more times to come.
WHO ARE WE?
BRIGITTE BLAKE is a life-long New York City resident with nearly 20 years of experience in the kink, sex-positive, and immersive event scenes.
After managing hundreds of local events and attending multiple romance conventions in recent years, she’s excited to bring this unique kind of experience to her own backyard.
BECCA FOGG is an independent author with eleven published titles over the last five years. She attends multiple book conferences a year, each as a reader and as a tabling author.
An attorney by day, the Boston-based transplant is best known for her scandalous plot twists and pant-worthy spice.
B&B have been inseparable since 2017, when they happened across each other in a Facebook group and never looked back.
Soulmates > fated mates. It’s on the internet, so you know it’s true. Don’t like it? Can you fight? Exactly. That’s what we thought.
ASHLEY MICHELE writes queer Southern Gothic stories about mixed, plus-size femmes. Her sweet little babies have blood between their teeth and an insatiable desire for their lovers’ devotion to be… questionable at best.
A librarian by day and unapologetic smut peddler by night, Ashley is an experienced event runner who embraces roles that bridge the gap between spicy authors, readers, and real-world kink and BDSM spaces. She is the founder of AMG Publishing, which offers developmental editing, systems management, and sensitivity reading grounded in own-voice and intersectional lived experience.
Ashley is handling social media/marketing.
