Why we have separate author lists

There are several different lists of authors participating in the Festival. These different lists can help frame the context of the author's appearance and inform your expectations of your trip to the Festival. More »

Author nominations

The Tucson Festival of Books welcomes authors representing a wide variety of fiction, non-fiction, children's fiction, cooking, and poetry, many of them best-selling authors in their genre. We typically present approximately 400 authors from around the United States. Generally, the Festival's Author Selection Committee selects authors who are published within twelve to eighteen months of the Festival. The nomination form for the 2014 Tucson Festival of Books will be available soon! More »
