Virtual Author Events

Bringing writers and readers together,
wherever they are.

Ready to meet some of your favorite authors? Our virtual author events aren't your average online experience. You'll be able to ask live questions, get live answers, and meet fellow fans. It's like a webinar, author visit, and book club all in one!

Keep scrolling to see who's coming to a screen near you, or browse recordings of our past events to catch up on any you missed. Happy viewing!

Brought to you in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium.
