Trinity Prep Author Festival 2021!
Trinity Preparatory School's sixth annual Author Festival is on Friday, Feb. 5, 2021, and this year it is VIRTUAL! The event is FREE and open to the public. We have 38 (and counting!) YA and Middle Grade authors scheduled to attend, including six NY Times bestsellers. Last year we saw over 1,000 attendees, and we look forward to having even more this year. Event planners, Reba Gordon, Director of the Rich Library, and English 8 & YA Lit Teacher, Georgia Parker, have live Keynote speakers and multiple pre-recorded author panels planned for even greater flexibility for readers. Watch this page for more updates to experience all we have to offer.
We have all sorts of surprises planned from book giveaways to pre-order incentives. There is also an opportunity to interact with your favorite author with crowd sourced questions!
For more information, email authorfest@trinityprep.org.
