Marketed as Sacramento’s first-ever romance book convention, KnottyCon occurs each August in recognition of Bookstore Romance Day and aims to unite romance readers for a weekend filled with authors, panel discussions, vendors, meet-and-greet sessions, arts and crafts, and much more.
KnottyCon represents an expansion of what Knotty Novels has been cultivating in Sacramento: a dedicated haven for romance readers. As the city’s romance-focused bookstore, Knotty Novels has garnered a loyal following by carefully selecting works across the entire spectrum of the genre—from contemporary and LGBTQ+ romance to monster romance and romantasy—while fostering a space for readers who treat romance with seriousness.
The upcoming convention will showcase over two dozen participating authors, such as Lana Ferguson, Naina Kumar, Jessica Joyce, Addie Woolridge, Ellie Palmer, Mallory Marlowe, S. E. Wendel, Angela Montoya, Mason Deaver, Lyla Lee, Miranda Sun, Eva Des Lauriers, and numerous others.
Beyond books and author events, attendees can look forward to a vibrant vendor marketplace featuring bookish merchandise, clothing and accessories, temporary tattoos, stickers, and other romance-related experiences that give the event its distinct character beyond a conventional book signing.
“KnottyCon is built for romance readers, by romance readers,” says Julie Blunt, a co-organizer of KnottyCon. “We wanted to create an event in Sacramento that celebrates the community around romance books while also celebrating the amazing authors within the genre.”
Tickets are currently available for purchase, with both VIP and General Admission choices offered for one-day and two-day attendance. VIP ticket holders receive extra benefits like priority entry, priority seating, exclusive merchandise, and special convention discounts.
