2022 Texas Book Festival

The 2022 Festival Weekend will take place on November 5–6, in downtown Austin at the State Capitol and surrounding streets. The Festival Weekend is free and open to the public, and we are pleased to share that thirteen of our authors will be sharing their books at this year’s festival!

BookPeople is the official Texas Book Festival bookseller. They will be on-site selling books for all the featured authors, and you can find Festival books year-round at the BookPeople TBF online store. Look for these titles at the festival and at BookPeople!
