All authors participate in panels and a signing on Saturday. Select authors will also appear on Friday
YALLFest does not require a ticket to enter the festival, or to go to panels or the majority of our signings. Select authors will be ticketed in advance for their signings to help control line capacity and promote the health and safety of attendees and authors alike. These will be announced when the full schedule is announced in October.
