UT Press at the Texas Book Festival 2024

November 2, 2024 | UT Press | Announcement

We’re excited to return once again to the Texas Book Festival with several of our authors on the weekend of November 16! The festival takes place in downtown Austin, in and around the State Capitol, where you can find authors at events, and our press booth at the intersection of 8^th St. and S. Congress Ave. We’ll be at booth #117/118 with tons of titles at a great discount!

Use our featured session schedule below to plan your time at the #TexasBookFestival. Book covers below indicate that an author will be speaking about that book, but we’ve listed events for friends of the press and authors who will be at the fest for their other books, too. Be sure to stop by and say hello on your visits to booths of your favorite local bookstores, indie presses, and others—we can’t wait to see you there!
