Upcoming Literary Festivals

I love author events and book signings – they give you an opportunity to learn about the material and the author behind the work in a magical way. And what’s better than an author event? The opportunity to attend dozens of them at the same time at a literary festival! 

I’m trying to attend at least one literary festival each quarter in addition to the single author events. There are several great festivals coming up across the United States in the next few months – check out which are close to you:
