Maybe. We are looking at the possibility of smaller meetups or sessions in or around San Diego before the main event, in partnership with local vendors, bookstores, or organizations. Keep an eye out on our socials for any related announcements, and make sure you join our email list if you haven’t already. If you happen to be nearby (or can make it here) for any of these, we’d love to see you there.
Our cofounder, Cam, loves to plan events, and is always looking for something extra to give our participants a chance to mingle and get to know each other. We also encourage anyone arriving on Friday of the event weekend (or earlier) to use the loose schedule time on Friday afternoon to gather a friend or two and go explore part of the amazing city of San Diego.
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.
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.
