The IAMG Book Festival Hub
The central hub for our tracks, presentations & independent literary celebrations.
Running the week of July 13, 2026 in New York City, the IAMG Book Festival is the command center for every stage, track, presentation and independent literary celebration on the calendar. Consider this your hub for the full slate of author conversations, masterclasses, exhibitor floors, poetry programming, family activations and the Saturday-night Lit Crawl.
