I'm so sorry that a few assholes ruined what should have been a beautiful experience for you. They also ruined it for the readers who wanted to uplift you and your work. Hugs. Find your faith in the good folks and don't give the Karen's the power to ruin you!

The entitlement of some people at these events is shameful. The way authors are commotified is going to push so many people out of this space and that will somehow be our own fault. I'm sorry you were treated that way.

💔I don’t go to reader events anymore. I go to author conferences and writing retreats but I had a terrible experience years ago at a signing that basically scarred me for life. People can be so cruel and entitled that it’s not worth my peace or my time and money. Do people realize a lot of authors lose money going to these? Sure it’s profitable sometimes but a lot of times it’s just about meeting readers.

This makes me so sad. I wonder if in these scenarios you can get their info to send it to them? You’re doing great, it’s been a pleasure to watch you succeed and you’re only going to get further ❤

Please don’t let a few people ruin your amazingness.. You are a beautiful person. It’s a shame that some feel entitled to get things. I was a volunteer and didn’t even know that there were items in the swag bag. I stopped to see you and speak to you for you, not the things you could give.. Keep being you and doing what you love to do.. Hugs to you!!

Some people don’t understand that the value of being an event like this is to meet the people behind the art, not to get free stuff. I’m sorry you were made to feel anything less than amazing. That’s exactly what you are.

as a reader and as a person who shares their experience at and covers events, I don't do romance book events any more and haven't for nearly 10 years. I go to individual signings, but not the big events. too much entitlement, too much bad behavior. please know the whole community isn't like this. and I hope you find new ways to reach readers.

You are amazing Vee. I’m so sorry that those interactions but a damper on the event for you. Those interactions are not what this community is about and they are only self seeking. You keep doing you and putting out these amazing books!

I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. That event was my first book con and I was so neat to meet so many authors and learn more about their books. It’s a lot logistically to get everything for a booth transported. I don’t think I made it to you, everything was a bit overwhelming for me but you seem so sweet!

It’s always the 10% that ruins things. Never let horrible people dampen your shine. You’re a bright light and don’t let those people who are just there for free stuff ruin you. YOU MATTER. Those people are not your readers. 💕
