Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a “wrist band system”?link to this question

    As those who have attended other book conventions know, some Authors are in high demand, and long lines form to see them. If and when these situations arise or are predicted in advance, we will implement a wrist band system to help avoid long lines and set expectations. If necessary, numbered wrist bands for a specific Author will be given out at those tables. Each wrist band will contain a number specifying an order in which the wrist band holder will be able to return and get in line for that Author. Number ranges will be announced for each high-demand Author throughout the signing, letting wrist band holders with those numbers know they are now eligible to return and get in that Author’s line.

  • Can I bring my partner, family, or friends with me?link to this question

    Of course, you may bring whomever you wish. As a LoveLitCon Attendee, you are responsible for making and paying for your own travel and dining arrangements, including hotel reservations and transportation to and from the event. After all, it is Valentine’s Day weekend! However, note that only ticketed adults 18 years of age or older will be admitted to the convention area and any associated activities, and child or pet care will not be available through LoveLitCon.

  • Where can I find a full convention schedule?link to this question

    The full schedule for 2026 is now available for the entire 3-day weekend, with lots of great info on the specifics of what’s happening and when, along with quick summaries of what to expect each day. Be in-the-know on when Registration, the Bookstore, our Vendor Marketplace, and the Quiet Room will be open, along with times for Keynotes, Panels, breakfasts, parties, and downtime for breaks and meals on your own. Based on early feedback, we intentionally padded the schedule with some downtime and plenty of time between keynotes and panels to give you plenty of time to move about the conventions space, mingle, or curl up somewhere with an amazing new book you just discovered.
