We hope you will join us for another year at the Festival of Books!

The Los Angeles Festival of Books is the preeminent experience for book lovers in southern California. A world renown festival, it is the place for writers and readers to connect. We will see you in April 2026! We are so excited to return to exhibiting and invite our romance community to come out and be part of an amazing event!

In 2026, we remain in the larger 20×20 booth! See Booth Layout here: 2026 Booth Layout.

Signing Fees are outlined below. With the exception of our Platinum Sponsor, 8′ tables are split between two authors. We will make every effort to match subgenres but cannot guarantee this will happen. Invoices are sent via PayPal, and ALL FEES are due within 7 days.

Got questions? Reach out to Alexis Roark via our Contact Page for more information.
