During the weekend of November 5, the University of Texas Press and several of our authors will be in and around the State Capitol in downtown Austin for the annual Texas Book Festival! We’ll have a booth at 8th and Congress (Exhibitor Tent #2) with tons of titles for sale at a great discount.
We’re thrilled that so many of our authors will be featured at this year’s #TexasBookFest! Use our featured session schedule below to plan your fest, and be sure to stop by the signing tent after each session to grab a signed copy of our featured books! Our friends at BookPeople will be on-site selling books for all featured Festival authors in the Main Book Sales Tent, both on Congress Avenue. You can also buy Festival books year-round at the BookPeople TBF online store!
In addition to our session schedule below, authors Ted Flato (of Lake|Flato), Cynthia Orozco, Sarah Bird, Stephen Harrigan, and Keith Carter will be at the Texas Book Festival, too. We hope to see you at these sessions!
