Brought to you by USA Today award-winning author, Lynessa Layne, TropiCon Book Expo & Writing Convention returns to the beautiful Pensacola Beach Hilton Convention Center

TropiCon Book Expo & Writing Convention, known for its southern beach locations and outstanding author participation, returns to the salty sea air humidity and palm trees to bring its parties, slate of internationally known authors, and an interactive book signing to the Orange state in a one-of-a-kind event that thrills avid readers.

On April 15-17, 2027, TropiCon is hosting a three-day book lovers expo and writing convention that seeks to assist aspiring writers and seasoned authors alike.

Thirsty Thursday is an interactive learning day where writers of all stages and publishing journeys take optional classes to help with subjects from polishing their craft to marketing, cover design, inspiration and everything in between.

Fangirl Friday is filled with author fan panels with reader Q&A, audience participation, and an author/reader buffet.

Another chance for readers to network with authors is at TropiCon's famous Book Birthday Bash. Flamingo VIPs will have exclusive first access to our authors' brand new releases while we celebrate their book birthdays with cupcakes, finger foods, and a cash bar.

Signing Saturday is an all-ages, all-genre trade show where our NYT, USAT, Amazon Bestsellers, beloved locals, and more sign and sell their books to the public.
