Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

  • Can we pre-order books?link to this question

    Yes, we will have a pre-order window open up several months prior to the event so you can pre-order many of the books from confirmed LoveLitCon Authors. Watch your inbox and our socials for any announcements related to pre-orders.

  • Are there meetups before the event?link to this question

    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.
