AuthorFest 2026 returns to Luton Central Library

We’ve teamed up with Luton Libraries to run this years’ Authors Festival at Luton Central Library once again this November!

This Festival is a fantastic opportunity for local authors and artists to promote their work and meet other writers and artists, and for visitors to explore what books have been written by local authors and find out more about Luton’s vibrant creative community of writers and artists.

There will also be an opportunity to attend a discussion panel showcasing the shortlisted writers from this years’ SI Leeds Literary Prize. Tickets for A Writer’s Life: 2026 SI Leeds Literary Prize Shortlist Author Panel can be booked via Luton Libraries website.

Pitches are free of charge, but spaces are limited, so if you’d like to be involved please email info@lutonlibraries.co.uk – places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

AuthorFest will take place on Saturday 7 November 2025 from 10am to 1pm.
