The Festival
Fall for the Book went virtual in 2020, bringing the festival to your fingertips! We elevated our status quo to “on demand”; now you can settle in with your kids to watch a live, interactive event, or get a front row seat to a talk with a writer who lives half world away; no plane ticket required. Watch our 2020 events, our Spring Pop-Up Lit Nights, and tune in for our 2021 festival this October.
New American Voices Award
Fall for the Book and the Institute for Immigration Research’s New American Voices Award recognizes recently published works that illuminate the complexity of the human experience as told by immigrants, whose work is historically underrepresented in writing and publishing.
Fall for the Book Podcast
Kara Oakleaf & Suzy Rigdon sit down with writers from across the genre spectrum in the Fall for the Book podcast. This season, hear from Danielle Evans, Karen Russell, Reginald Dwayne Betts, and more! You can listen on Soundcloud, Spotify, iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.
