The 6th Annual Festival will include over 30 events with over 70 local, national, and international authors from May 5th to May 9th. All of the events are free, except for the three headlining ones – which include authors Jennifer Egan, Elizabeth Alexander, and Don Winslow. The cost for these sessions ranges from $30-$35 and include a signed copy of the author’s book. A full schedule of the events can be found here

All of the book talks and events will be held in person, either in tents outside or in various indoor Montclair locales, including the  Montclair Public Library, the First Congregational Church, and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation.
