2024 Author Line Up:
Premium Tables will be available for each event that will include an author at these tables for your table of 8*.
These tables will be offered at $500 and when they are gone they are gone. *A Premium table of 8 means 8 seats for you and your guests at the table - a 9th seat will be added for the author and a 10th if the author brought someone with them.
Overfilling your table ( wanting more than 8 seats for your guests) may forfeit the author space. The Author at your table will be selected randomly. No exceptions.
All ticket sales will be online through Eventbrite.
