Booktopia

Booktopia is the Attraction Area at Denver Pop Culture Con that is dedicated to everything prose. Each year, we host dozens of the biggest names in genre, sci-fi and YA literature, plus book publishers and booksellers.

No, attendance and participation in Booktopia is included in the price of every attendee badge.

Nope. Unlike Celebrity Summit where autographs and photos require an additional fee, there is no additional cost for meeting authors in Booktopia, chatting with them, getting autographs, and even getting selfies with them.

Lines to meet authors in Booktopia are rare, but they do happen. If there is an author you really want to meet and/or have something signed, we suggest checking in during their posted signing times at one of the official signing booths in Booktopia to see if a line has formed. If the line is particularly long, you may have to come back at their next signing or catch them in one of their many scheduled panels.

Yes! We intentionally made this as easy as possible for you. You can buy the books for any guest author at the Tattered Cover Bookstores Pavilion (booths) on the show floor, and have the author sign it during their scheduled signing times right there in the Pavilion, or at a neighboring booth where the author is signing.

Our guest authors will sign anything at no charge! You can buy their new book, buy a copy of a previous volume, or bring your own. It is NOT required that you buy a book just to meet your favorite author!

Pro Tip: Sometimes authors even give away Advance Reader Copies of their new books at their panels or booth signings! Research what’s new for these guests — either on the Denver Pop Culture Con website at www.denverpopculturecon.com/guests, or on your favorite book news site to see if they have something new coming out at or around Denver Pop Culture Con.

Yes, there sure is. Jim is dedicated to meeting as many of his fans as possible, so he uses a unique, streamlined process. Below is a summary of what to do, but also be sure to read the blog post and FAQ dedicated to Jim and Garfield’s appearance HERE.

Step 1: Head to the Tattered Cover Pavilion on the main convention floor (maps of the convention floor coming soon).

Step 2: Purchase a pre-autographed copy of Jim’s latest book, “Age Happens: Garfield Hits the Big 4-0”— remember, this is the FIRST AND ONLY place you can get the book before it goes on sale to the rest of the world!

Step 3: Take your pre-signed book to the photo line at the scheduled times on Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16 only to get a selfie taken with Jim and the larger-than-life Garfield. Bring your own phone or camera, and a Denver Pop Culture Con team member will take your picture at no extra cost!
