The Albany Book Festival, established in 2018, draws thousands of book lovers from across the Capital Region and beyond to an intellectually stimulating and dynamic daylong event on the University at Albany uptown campus that promotes literacy and fosters a love of reading among all ages.
This annual fall festival features bestselling authors, panel discussions, book-signing sessions, online workshops for aspiring writers, and areas dedicated to young-adult and children’s books. Regional authors and poets join in open mic sessions. Dozens of authors, bookstores, publishers, and literary organizations will be featured online.
This year, the Hudson Valley Writers Guild will have a special reading from 2-3:30 pm at the Orb Stage in the Campus Center. Each reader will have 10 minutes to share their work. Please feel free to bring flyers, books or any other merch you have to sell or trade.
