About this event

You've Read Them, Now You Will Get to Meet Them...
Save the Date! On Saturday, November 12 we invite you to join us along with some of the most recognizable names in literature as they share what inspires their writing and the stories behind the stories.

Local to Global 
Over the 33-year history of the Authors Luncheon the event has welcomed tens of thousands Bay Area literary enthusiasts to celebrate bestselling authors while supporting the efforts of the NKF. Since 2020, in response to the pandemic, we broadened our geographic boundaries and welcomed guests from all over the US and beyond. This year we will return to San Francisco’s Marriott Marquis for a live event, as well offer a virtual option so guests can join from the comfort of their favorite reading nooks all over the globe.
