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.

  • Will there be an onsite bookstore?link to this question

    Yes, we’ll have a popup bookstore on site. 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. 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 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  • 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.
