For the inquisitive mind…
Q: Do authors need to have a minimum follower count to apply for events?
A: NO! We started hosting events mainly for indie authors. We want to give the indies in the DMV and surrounding areas a venue to share their work!
Q: How much are the table fees for authors?
A: Table fees vary because the event locations and event size are always changing. We are indie focused, so we strive to keep the table fees affordable. We also offer split table options. If two or more authors would like to share a table and split the cost, we can accommodate that. Examples of fees for previous events are $20-$50 per table. This may not always be the case, but we will strive to keep it affordable.
Q: Do we allow children at our events?
A: We love to have the whole family at our events! Almost all of our events are all ages; however, some venues do not allow children. If so, the promos and applications will specify the age limit.
Q: How frequently do you host events?
A: We host a variety of special occasion events throughout the year. We aim to host book conventions twice a year. This may not always be possible, so check the upcoming events tab to stay up to date!
Q: What is Sinister Ink Events’ policy on AI?
A: We have a firm zero tolerance policy for AI in creative spaces. We will refer to graphic designers, illustrators, and creators ALWAYS.

Q: Are the book conventions hosted by Sinister Ink Events all in the DMV area?
