FAQ:

Here is a list of common questions that we've been asked:

When can I reserve my room?

• You can reserve your room at any time. We will receive a discount code in August for our locked in room rate of $139/night. Once I receive the code, I will pass it along to you.

 

Will I need to bring cash with me to your event?

• Each author is responsible for the sale of their own books and exchange of monies.  While many of the authors will accept debit and credit cards, some of the authors may accept cash only, so it is best to be prepared.  Due to a limited supply of books on site, many of the authors are taking reservations for books.  You may reserve your book ahead of time to be signed and picked up at the author’s table on event day.  Check the authors Facebook pages to see which authors are taking reservations.  You may also purchase a book ahead of time from a retailer and bring it with you for signature.

 

Is there a set number of things I can have signed by an author?

• No. There is no limit, but we do ask that you are respectful to those waiting in line behind you. 

 

Can I bring pre-purchased books to be signed?

• Of course you can. Again we just ask that if you have quite a few books to sign, be respectful to those fans waiting in line behind you.

 

Why do the tickets cost so much?

• The tickets are priced as low as we can possibly make them. This price covers the costs of the venue, food, and afterparty fun.  Prices vary depending on what you would like to participate in.  

1.       1. The signing tickets are priced at $10 and this gains you access to all the authors for 2 hours. This is plenty of time to make it to all the tables and see all the authors you want to see.  There are two time slots available, allowing you to choose the best time that fits your schedule. 

2.       2. The Lunch and Signing tickets are $45. This gains you access to not only both timeslots for the signing for a total of 4 hours, but also to the lunch with all the authors in attendence. At lunch, we will be having a few raffles going on as well. It is a sit down deli style lunch and we will be closing the signing down for an hour for lunch so the authors can get a break and eat in between the signings.  (We don't want them passing out or getting cranky because they are hungy!)

•     3. There is also a Vip ticket for $115. This ticket will gain you access to everything that day. The entire signing, the author lunch and the after party. Tickets are limited and for anyone 21+, due to alcohol being served at the after party. The after party is 4 hours of fun, dancing and more raffles. There will be entertainment, which includes an open bar and 2 hours of hot and cold appetizers. The partying starts at 8pm and goes on until midnight. The fun doesn't have to stop there though. It's just the beginning! 

 

Will the authors take pictures with us?

• The authors love to take pictures with their fans. Remember that they are human, too, so don't be afraid to ask them for a picture. They will be honored to do it because they love their fans!!! 

 

Are you still accepting authors for your event?

• At the moment, we are full with a wait list. If you would like to be added to the wait list, you can email us here.

 

If I am a Blogger and want to attend, do i have to register?

• If you are a Blogger and are attending the event as a blogger and not just a fan, we would love to list you as an attending blogger on our site. Here is the form: Blogger Doc

 

Can I become a Sponsor?

• So here's the honest to god truth about sponsors.. I have no idea what an actual sponsor is or the role they play in signings. Tracie and I (Tara) are planning and running this event ourselves with the occasional help of close friends.  If you know anything about sponsors, or if you'd like to become one, please email us here.

 

Is anyone looking for roommates?

• I'm almost sure someone is always looking for roommates. Here is the link to the event page on Facebook.   If you want to start a post about looking for a roommate, please feel free to post.

 

Are you looking for volunteers for this event?

• We are always looking for volunteers. There is a list of things that will be required of you, so please only submit serious inquiries. Being a volunteer is not a free pass to get into the event. You will need to buy a ticket, just like Tracie and I have to. So please only serious inquiries. Email us with your info and someone will get back to you. You can email us here  

 

Are there other events planned for the weekend?

• As of right now, there is an author only dinner on Friday, July 24th for the authors to mingle with each other but you never know what will happen. Not all authors will be attending the dinner, so you are more then welcome to meet in the lobby with others and make plans. As the event gets closer, we will post more info on events that may be happening. On Sunday, we will be heading to Hershey Park for a day of Roller Coasters and Chocolate!!! Who knows what kind of fun will be had!
