The Novelists, Inc. conference brings together our members, who are all multi-published authors in traditional and/or indie publishing, with a wide variety of industry professionals and guest speakers for a unique experience of networking and high-level professional development.

A moveable feast of writing, reading, discussion, and thought about the written word. Writers’ workshops, author panels and presentations, readings and parties are scheduled at various quaint, historic and beautiful venues around the Island.

Meet acclaimed authors and guest speakers visiting othe famed arts colony for three days of free events, including readings, interviews, conversations, and the 2025 Rose Dorothea Award presentation.

Designed to celebrate the best of Kansas literature, arts and history, this free festival offers a variety of activities, including meet-the-author sessions, panel discussions, book signings and sales, and a special tent with projects for children.

An all-day event that brings Kansas City-area teens together with authors, poets, illustrators, and other creators. Not only will attendees be able to meet their favorite authors, but they'll also learn new ways to harness their own creative talents.

A literary celebration that includes readers, publishers, booksellers, and hundreds of authors.  More than 200 local, international, debut and iconic authors are presented in panel discussions and book-signings on outdoor stages and with partner venues in Downtown Brooklyn.

This annual fall festival features bestselling authors, panel discussions, book-signing sessions, online workshops for aspiring writers, and areas dedicated to young-adult and children's books. Regional authors and poets join in open mic sessions. Dozens of authors, bookstores, publishers, and literary organizations will be featured online.

There's real magic in meeting the people behind the stories your family loves and learns from. Meet authors and illustrators, enjoy live storytimes with authors, learn from author talks, and have a ton of fun at the Family Fun Zone.

Now in its 4th year, this author signing event that brings in more than 140  authors is open to all genres. Hosted by Amy Garnet (6 Feet Under Books) and author Mary Walsh.
