Q: How can I rent a booth space?
A: We would love to consider you for our event! If you're an author or vendor, please fill out our 2025 Author/Vendor Interest Form.
Q: If I'm a vendor, do I have to apply for a business license so I can pay sales taxes later?
A: According to the South Dakota Dept. of Revenue, "If you are selling at three or less events per year you do not need to obtain a permanent sales tax license."
At the event, we will provide all authors/vendors with a Special Event Tax Return, which should be returned to the local revenue office listed on the form.
Q: What do you mean by 'clean'?
A: As a clean-fiction event, we want to promote books and merchandise everyone in the family can enjoy such as: fantasy, romance (closed-door), children’s, devotionals, non-fiction, suspense, and more. We do not accept horror, explicit sexual language/content, or gratuitous violence.
That means the content at our event champions respect for all human beings regardless of sex, race, nationality, age, and ability or disability; marriage between one man and one woman; limited violence and swearing, and no sexual content.
