RosieCon policies

Who is invited

RosieCon is open to the public and is for anyone who enjoys young adult literature. Whereas the authors may write books for adults and/or younger children, the books on the Rosewater list are for teens. RosieCon leaves decisions of appropriateness up to audience members. All ages are invited, but it is expected that if a participant is younger than 15, there should be an adult accompanying them.

RosieCon wants you not only to have a great time, but to experience it in an environment where you feel safe and accepted. Common sense and kindness are always the rule.

RosieCon has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for harassment of any kind which extends to online behavior, including but not limited to: stalking, intimidation, offensive verbal comments, physical assault and/or battery, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, sustained disruption of programs (panels, signings, meet-ups, and other events), in relation to, but not limited to: race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, body size, disability, appearance, religion, citizenship, pregnancy.

If a person engages in harassing behavior, RosieCon staff will take prompt action in any form they deem appropriate, including expulsion from the festival. Our policy applies to EVERYONE at the convention. Exhibitors, attendees, authors, speakers, guests, press, staff, volunteers, and security are all subject to our anti-harassment policy. This applies in the public venues, as well as all festival staff spaces, and events.

Anyone can report harassment. If someone’s behavior has made you uncomfortable, or if you witness the same happening to someone else, you should contact RosieCon staff immediately. Please email rosieconIndy@gmail.com to report an incident.
