Author appearances subject to change; more authors to be announced!
some author signings may be ticketed in advance — full schedule with details and (free) ticketing information will be released in april
all books link to bookshop.org pages. any purchases made through these links benefit the yallwest schools program. Orders placed through this bookshop will be shipped to you directly from Bookshop.orgs warehouses, so make sure you order them in enough time for them to arrive to you before the festival. We will also have a bookseller on site during the festival, and books can be brought from home.
Books listed with an asterisk * are titles that will not be released in time for the festival—so if you’re looking to order them to get signed at the festival, they won’t make it to your doorstep. Luckily, we might be able to sell a few of the mid-may releases a little bit early at the festival itself…More info soon!
