    • Thanks for your interest! Politics & Prose, the official bookseller of the National Book Festival, will have books available for purchase on their website closer to the festival. Books can also be purchased onsite at the festival.

  2. Library of Congress Bookfest THANK YOU SO MUCH for keeping the virtual option to attend virtually… I love “attending” virtually

  3. Will you be offering the app again this year with the scheduling calendar to save times/booths for author’s talks & book signings? This was an excellent app to use and scroll through so I didnt miss a thing throughout the day.

    • The National Book Festival app will not be offered this year. The National Book Festival website is mobile friendly, and you are encouraged to use the “add to calendar” feature.

  4. I did not find Lidia Yuknavitch and Kim Fu the signing schedule.Will they be signing their books?

    Also, Kim’s book is Lesser Known MONSTERS of the 21st Century(not Mortals)

  5. Where is the poster, who is the poster artist and will the poster artist be signing this year?

    • This year’s poster art will be revealed in the very near future!

  6. So excited to be attending in person this year. I was planning on attending back in 2020 but Covid prevented it that from happening. This’ll be my first time attending.

  7. Worst author lineup ever

  8. Greetings, this is so good to see. I have all five if my childrens books there and would love to participate. Unfortunately,I will be traveling this year and cannot attend. Perhaps, next year.

    Y is for Yoga
    My Daughters are Smart!
    Nepali Tales
    N is for Nepal
    Dashain Aayo! Tihar Aayo! A Nepali holiday book for children.
