Going to the Boston Book Festival?

October 17, 2026 from 10a-5p 
Boston's Copley Square

I mean, who isn't? We will be at Booth #44 along Dartmouth St.

For anyone new to the Boston Book Festival, it's a chance to hear from authors and poets, while also connecting with fellow readers. There are workshops, panels, and an outdoor vendor area. A little bit like Readercon.

Planning is also underway to livestream author interviews through the Readercon YouTube channel while at the BBF. Subscribe to the channel if you want to receive notifications.

Have we crowed loud enough that our 2027 guests of honor are Fonda Lee and Neil Clarke of Clarkesworld Magazine?

How awesome is that? Come and join us in July 2027 as we celebrate their contributions to the literature of speculative fiction!
