Our inaugural event will be on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the Azalea Lodge at Mead Botanical Garden.

Tickets are now on sale! Each signing session ticket is $60 and our add-on Dinner with an Author event is $65.

This will be a one-day signing event with two sessions, plus an add-on VIP event. 

We will have 15 authors, as well as two vendors and The New Romantics as our on-site bookseller.

We expect to have more information about wristbands closer to the event.

Traditionally published authors will have preorders available at The New Romantics, while indie and hybrid authors will have their own preorders available.

While the venue does offer free parking, space is limited so carpooling is encouraged.

Yes. Please email us at hello@swoonsfest.com for more information.

At this time, our volunteer application is closed.

Since this is our first event, we don’t plan on having official influencers for Swoons Fest 2026.
