Author Pavilion

Nearly 150 authors of ALL GENRES will meet and greet the public, and sign and sell their books, during two hour time-periods throughout the festival weekend.

Three Author Pavilion tents will host up to 10 authors each during every pre-scheduled time period (see Author Pavilion author list below sorted by day, tent and time).

The East and West tents will be located on the University of Arizona Main Mall.

The Children's Tent will be located in the Children's Area. (Exact locations will be posted on the website in the near future).
