Whimsical is coming to Yallfest!

And we want to meet YOU!

Whimsical’s very own Christina will be at Yallfest in Charleston, SC on November 15th & 16th with the magical purple Whimsical Wagon loaded with postcards for purchase and TREASURE TO GIVE AWAY!

Read further to find out how to embark on the quest of finding her!

If you’re unfamiliar with Yallfest, it’s an outdoor YA book festival. As such, there are a lot of moving parts (and people!) where no one is stationary for very long. To help your chances of finding her, we’ve decked out the Whimsical Wagon with our logo! Check out the image for what to look for!

This is your chance to get Whimsical merch!

What’s for sale? Postcards! All leftover stock of art postcards are being brought for liquidation.
How much are they? $1! (USD) There will also be a bundle deal of 6 for $5.
What forms of payment are accepted? Cash is preferred, but we can also take Venmo, PayPal, and CashApp.

Check out the tentative schedule below for the best chances of finding Christina and the treasured Whimsical Wagon!

Christina will be taking over our Instagram stories on the 16th and will update her location as she moves from spot to spot throughout the day. This schedule may change without notice, so also be sure to follow us on Instagram!

WHIMSICAL IS COMING TO AUDIO!

Before you go, we wanted to let you know that the AUDIOBOOK of We Could Be Villains will be going live on Audible in just a few days! And we have some free redemption codes for some lucky readers who’d be willing to read and review (consider this an audiobook arc)!

Fill out the form HERE if you’d like to request a copy!

I’m delighted to tell YALL that Christina will be at Yallfest again this year! And just like last year, she’ll be handing out goodies! Yallfest will be from November 10-11th in Charleston, SC, so if you’ll be around this coming weekend, be sure to find her! She will be pulling a purple wagon and will be taking over my instagram and posting her location throughout both days to my stories.

Yallfest is a Young Adult book festival held annually in Charleston, South Carolina and though I’ve never been, Christina promises it’s a weekend FULL of excitement!

Because it’s an outdoor festival occurring at several locations simultaneously, I can’t tell you exactly where she will be each day (though I can guarantee she’ll be in Stephanie Garber’s signing lines both days)!

If you do find her, snap a photo together and share it on social media (and tag me!) I hope many of you will get an opportunity to meet her and get some Whimsical swag! I wish I could be there with you, but know I’m there in my heart!
