Established to celebrate the written word, the LA Festival of Books is the most popular festival of its kind in California. The festival takes place over two days in April, where it attracts over 150,000 guests who are either involved in the literature business or are lovers of literature. The majority of the festival sessions are free of charge, offering visitors from all walks of life the chance to celebrate reading, writing and culture. For two exciting days, visitors and aspiring writers can attend inspiring workshops, readings and story-telling sessions presented by a diversity of established and emerging writers and publishers. You can meet your favorite author and take home a signed copy of their book to cherish forever.
