Join us in the North Hall of Eastern Market for the 13th annual Literary Hill BookFest, a beloved celebration of books and authors on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. This year, we'll feature more than 40 authors, poets, booksellers, publishers, literacy groups, and more, including acclaimed national bestselling novelist Louis Bayard, author of The Pale Blue Eye, a mystery thriller adapted into the global #1 Netflix release starring Christian Bale. Other featured authors include former White House speech writer and comedian Sean O'Brien; nationally recognized anti-bias and antiracist author and educator Liz Kleinrock; award-winning author and Smithsonian Curator of Political History Jon Grinspan; National Book Award finalist and former editor-in-chief of the Washington Post's Book World Marie Arana; beloved author, trailblazer, and Smithsonian Ambassador Christine Platt; acclaimed novelist, former investigative journalist, and film and TV writer James Grady, whose novel Six Days of the Condor was famously adapted into the Robert Redford film Three Days of the Condor, and many more.
Visitors will meet some of their favorite authors of fiction, history, children's literature, mystery, poetry, memoir and more and enjoy lively and topical panel discussions and a full slate of family-friendly activities in our bustling Children's Corner. The BookFest is completely free and open to the public, with a popular poetry open mic immediately following the main event, where established and aspiring poets will entertain an enthusiastic crowd.
