Topline:
General panel reservations for the L.A. Times Book Festival open Sunday.
Why it matters: Admission to panels with popular authors often runs out fast. (It’s already too late to get a ticket to the event with bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.)
Who will be there this year? This year’s lineup runs the gamut, from politician Stacey Abrams, who wrote the children’s book Stacey Speaks Up, to poet and novelist Luis J. Rodriguez. You can explore the full schedule here.
When and where will the event take place? The book festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27 at USC.
Plan your visit: If you’ve decided to make the trek, why not make a day of it? Here’s where you can eat and take a selfie. And here’s a map to navigate the festival and find parking. Be sure to stop by LAist’s booths — one near Alumni Park and one in the Young Adult section — where you can play games, win prizes and take a free book.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
