Author Preorder Forms

*If you're an ApollyCon 2019 ticket holder, this section is for you! 

Some of our 2019 authors are offering an option for attendees to preorder copies of their books for pick up at their (the author's) table during the signing sessions. This is not to be confused with our virtual signing; this option is for pick up only. 

The best part is that any books that you preorder via these forms will not count toward the book/item limits per line visit! :)

Not all of the authors are offering a preorder form, so if you do not see them listed below, it means they do not plan to open up preorders at this time. 

Note: The ApollyCon event team are not handling any transactions pertaining to these preorder forms, so if you have any questions/concerns about these forms, please contact the author(s) whose name is on the form.

*Click on the author's name below to be taken to their preorder form. (We will also have this info available via the ApollyCon Attendees Facebook group.)
