Twentynine Palms Book Fair

Small in scale but rich in character, the Twentynine Palms Book Festival celebrates California’s storytelling traditions in the relaxed setting of a desert town that continues to inspire writers, artists, and travelers alike. The festival's fourth edition presents one of its most ambitious programs to date, bringing together 100+ authors for 20+ panel discussions, VIP talks, workshops, and offsite literary events celebrating the people, landscapes, and stories of California's Mojave Desert and beyond. From memoir, crime fiction, Indigenous storytelling, poetry, veterans' voices, children's literature, and the American West to conservation, history, music, and creative careers, the program reflects the remarkable diversity of today's literary world while creating opportunities for readers and writers to meet, exchange ideas, and discover new voices.
