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.

  • How can I connect with other LoveLitCon participants?link to this question

    We ideally want you to arrive at our event already knowing (or being familiar with) at least a few other friendly faces. Attendees and participants are invited to a private Facebook group (specific to each year’s convention) after ticket purchase, where they can network with other Attendees ahead of time, discuss event logistics, and topics related to the event itself. Keep an eye out for the invitation within Facebook. We also actively encourage use the hashtag #LoveLitCon when discussing, asking, or planning anything relevant to the event.

  • Can we preorder books?link to this question

    Yes, we have officially launched preorders, and now have buttons below most Authors on our site linking directly to the right place to preorder their books. This allows Attendees to preorder many of the books from confirmed LoveLitCon Authors, then conveniently pick up those books at the event without needing to bring a bunch of books to the event.

    Some Authors are handling their own preorders, and will be distributing books ordered from them directly at their Author table. Other Authors have specified that LoveLitCon should handle their preorders, so we will handle orders of books from those authors and make them available for pickup at Will Call.
