Question 1

Question 2

Will the event ticket also include parties, panels, meet & greets, and other specialty events?

Accepted Answer

No, the General Admission ticket only includes the book signing. No other events held before or after the signing will be sponsored and hosted by Southern Belle Book Events.

Question 3

How many tickets will be sold?

Accepted Answer

We plan to sell only 700 tickets. While we do acknowledge that this is a low ticket number, we appreciate open space, room to breathe, and the need for a comfy event in order to make a memorable day for authors, readers, volunteers, and staff.

Accepted Answer

A spouse or any person over the age of 14 will be required to hold a ticket to enter the event. 13 and under may enter for free.

The event will be held in Terrell Hall. The event space is located on the ground floor. Signage will be in place to help guide all attendees.

Question 6

Are there ID requirements to enter the event?

Accepted Answer

Photo ID will not be required to check in at the event. The only exception will be attendees who arrive without a ticket visible via print or phone, in which case we will need a valid photo ID matching the name in the Eventbrite system in order to check them in manually.

Question 7

Are tickets refundable or transferrable?

Accepted Answer

No, tickets are not refundable but are transferrable. If transferring to a new attendee, please note the above info regarding ticket names and photo ID requirements.

Question 8

How many authors can be seen per session?

Accepted Answer

We can't guarantee a certain amount of authors to be seen, but we are confident that you'll certainly be able to see most, if not all, of the authors you're looking to meet.

Question 9

Will authors offer pre-orders for the event?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We'll have pre-order information added to the Facebook attendee group as we get into 2025. We expect pre-order links to begin appearing from authors approx. 10-12 months before the event.

Question 10

Are wagons allowed for carrying books at the event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, wagons and carts are allowed. We do ask that attendees please be respectful if bringing these items. No one likes a bumped heel or flattened toe, right?

Question 11

Is there a limit to the quantity of books I may bring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a 5 book limit will be put in place for each author. If an author has their book limit in regards to totals or personalization, those limits will supersede our pre-set limit of 5. To confirm an author's limit, please contact the author directly.

Question 12

Is there a room block available for attendees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a hotel block is included in our contract; however, the link will not be made available publicly until approx. 1 year before the event date. Once available, the hotel block will be added to the website in the information at the top of this page.

Question 13

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Accepted Answer

All questions or concerns may be directed to Southern Belle Book Events via email at events@southernbellebookevents.com.
