Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
