The twentieth National Book Festival begins today and will last all weekend. In the past, this has been an in-person event including author readings and panels, book signings, and book- and reading-themed activities. I look forward to it every year. Because of the pandemic, the festival has been moved online. It will include both pre-recorded, on-demand sessions and live Q & As. And since it's entirely online, you don't have to be able to get to DC to participate.
Here is a list of participating authors.
The authors present on different stages according to the topics they write about or audiences they write for. Here is the list of stages:
- Children
- Teens
- Family, Food & Field
- Fiction
- Genre Fiction
- History & Biography sponsored by Wells Fargo
- Poetry & Prose sponsored by National Endowment for the Arts
- Science
- Understanding Our World
It's a celebration of reading and ideas. Whenever I've attended, I've gotten to see authors whose work I already read and authors whose work I've yet to discover. It's totally awesome!
