Code of Conduct
The short version is below. Our full anti-harassment policy explains how we handle reports.
Respect every body
No harassment, no slurs, no unwanted touching. Romance is about consent. So are we.
Honor the lines
Wait your turn. Don't crowd authors. Respect line caps. Everyone deserves their moment.
Ask before photographing
Always ask authors before photos. Don't photograph other attendees without consent.
Keep it 21+
Our content is adult. Minors are not permitted in signing rooms or evening events.
Be kind about books you don't love
There's a difference between a review and a public takedown. Don't trash an author at their own table.
No reselling for profit
Books purchased at the event are for you. Authors notice.
Costumes welcome
Dress how you feel hot. No formal dress code beyond comfortable and respectful.
