Trinity Prep Author Festival
Trinity Preparatory School's seventh annual Author Festival will be held on Friday, Feb. 4, 2022, and it will be primarily VIRTUAL through our YouTube account - but James Ponti will be on campus that day!
Our event is FREE and open to the public. However, registration is required in order to have access to the virtual sessions.
In 2021, 44 Young Adult (YA), Middle Grade, and Picture Book authors attended, including seven NY Times bestsellers. Our 2022 line up of authors has not been finalized, but we have confirmed the following New York Times bestselling authors: Samira Ahmed, Laurie Halse Anderson, Tracey Baptiste, Alan Gratz, James Ponti, and Aisha Saeed.
