With a heavy heart, I’m sharing that NovelCon 2027 has been officially cancelled.

Readers of the Valley has always been a one-woman-run passion project, and I truly love creating these events for this community.

But at this point, with my chronic spine and ongoing medical issues continuing to worsen, I’ve had to make the difficult decision—per medical guidance—to step back from large-scale events beyond 2026. Continuing at this pace would be more detrimental to my health, and I have to prioritize my long-term well-being.

💭 What this means:
• NovelCon 2027 will no longer take place

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and deeply appreciate your understanding and support.

🤍 What about 2026?
Nothing has changed — all 2026 events are moving forward as planned:
• NovelCon
• Summer Brunch
• Booksgiving
• Nevermore

I can’t wait to experience these with you and make this year truly unforgettable.

✨ Looking ahead:
In 2027, I’ll be shifting toward smaller, more intimate, author-focused events that still allow me to stay connected with this incredible community. I don’t know what 2028 and beyond will hold for Readers of the Valley—but I do know how much this space and all of you mean to me.

Let’s make 2026 an amazing year 🤍

📚The lineup keeps growing… 📚

The author list for NovelCon is growing, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring together such an incredible group of storytellers for this celebration of books and community. From indie favorites to rising voices you’ll want on your TBR immediately, NovelCon is shaping up to be an unforgettable day for readers.

Come meet amazing authors, get your books signed, discover new stories, and connect with fellow book lovers in a welcoming, community-focused space. Readers of the Valley created NovelCon to support local authors, indie creators, and the vibrant bookish community here in the Valley — and seeing this list grow is proof of how special this event is going to be.

And this is just the beginning… more announcements are still to come.
