 WHAT IS THE NORTH TEXAS TEEN BOOK FESTIVAL?

In short, the NTTBF is a free, one-day book festival created to celebrate teen literature, from both Middle Grade and YA authors.

 It is hosted at the Irving Convention Center, approximately 80 authors will come together for a full day of conversation, book signings, and jubilation.

 Authors sign books, meet their readers, and discuss their books in over 50 small breakout panels all at the new, state-of-the-art Irving Convention Center.

The NORTH TEXAS TEEN BOOK FESTIVAL strives to connect our reading community, adding dimension to the reading experience through diverse author panels and dynamic discussions in a safe and fun environment.

 Books will be sold for each author at the event.

Book signing by the authors takes place at the end of the day.
