The 2023 National Book Festival

The long-awaited moment has come. The 2023 Library of Congress National Book Festival author lineup is here!

The 2023 Festival will return to the Washington Convention Center on Saturday, Aug. 12. The festival theme, “Everyone Has a Story,” celebrates the storyteller in us all. We can’t wait to hear the compelling, fun, thought-provoking, and captivating stories from our featured authors.

If you are not able to join the festival in person, tune into sessions throughout the day on loc.gov/bookfest. Videos of all presentations will be made available on demand in the weeks after the festival. We’ll be sharing the schedule and more details here on the Bookmarked blog as we approach the festival.
