Bardhwood Book Nook

The Book Nook at LitRPG Con 2026Welcome to The Book Nook, a specialized pop-up consignment bookstore designed specifically for the author community. We know that as an author at a convention, your schedule is packed with panels, workshops, and networking. Managing a sales table on top of all that can be an extremely difficult quest.That’s where we come in. The Book Nook is a shop run by authors, for authors. We provide a dedicated retail space in the vendor area to ensure your books are available to fans, even while you’re busy being a featured guest or leading a standing-room-only panel.Our Mission: Supporting the Genre
For LitRPG Con, we are hyper-focused on the genres that power this community. Our shelves are curated to feature:
LitRPG & GameLit
Progression Fantasy
Cultivation & Xianxia
Dungeon CoreWe aren't just a bookstore; we’re fans of the genre. We handle the staffing, the sales tax, and the customer service so you can focus on your readers.How It Works: Logistics & Consignment
To keep things simple and efficient for everyone, The Book Nook operates on a drop-off and pick up model.Inventory Drop off: Authors are responsible for bringing their physical inventory to the Book Nook booth during designated setup hours (typically the morning of the first day of the con).Professional Sales: Our team will display, track, and sell your books throughout the weekend.Inventory Pick up: Any books that haven't found a new home must be picked up by the author during the teardown window on the final day of the convention.Payouts: We handle the math! Payouts for sold books (minus our consignment fee) will be processed via ACH following the event. If you are an international author, we have a different method for you.Note: At this time, The Book Nook cannot accept shipped inventory or provide long-term storage. All books must be hand-delivered and retrieved by the author or a designated representative.Application Link!
We will be accepting panelists and attending authors on a rolling basis given how close we are to the convention. Applying will sign you up for newsletter updates about the Book Nook.Meet the Founder
