About this event
You've Read Them, Now You Will Get to Meet Them...

2022 Featured Authors
Stay tuned, this year's authors will be announced soon! In the meantime, you can watch the recording of the 2021 Authors Event here.
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.
