Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer livestreams of the panels?link to this question

    We do not currently offer a livestream option for our events, primarily because of the limited resources we have available to us. However, this is one of the features we’d like to make available in the future for those who can’t attend LoveLitCon in person. If a virtual ticket for the livestream (and possible recordings to watch later) is something of interest to you, let us know.

  • Is there a dress code or guide for the event?link to this question

    There’s no official dress code. San Diego is pretty casual, especially because of the mild weather we have. The coldest temperatures in winter months rarely drop below 50°F, and summers are typically between 60°–80°F. That said, there can be a big variance between morning, afternoon, and evening temperatures. Plus, our event will include transitions through outdoor spaces. And large indoor event spaces often feel cold to some. 🥶 Others struggle through constant heat flashes. 🥵

    So we recommend a layered approach. If you get too warm, you can always carry it with you, or run something up to your room or out to your car. But at least you’ll have something with you in San Diego if you get chilly.

    Both our Opening Night Party on Friday and our Saturday Night Surprise will be themed. So you can (optionally) participate if you’d like and however you’d like. We’ll announce those themes closer to the event date.

  • Will there be an onsite bookstore?link to this question

    Yes, we’ll have a popup bookstore on site that will be staffed and run by Barnes & Noble, a trusted team with a wealth of expertise in managing hundreds of millions of book sales each year. Our bookstore will stock some of the more popular traditionally published books from our confirmed attending Authors. It may also carry some independently-published books that are available through large distributors like Ingram. However, to guarantee you get the books you really want, you’ll want to pre-order them, or bring copies with you. The bookstore will be open starting at noon on Friday, and for key shopping times on Saturday and Sunday. It will close in the early afternoon on Sunday.
