D.C.-Area Readings

Despite the losses of numerous important local bookstores in recent years, there are still plenty of opportunities to meet authors in person in the D.C. area. Listings added in the past week are preceded with an asterisk (*).

Many, but not all, events are free. I encourage you to contact the venue regarding admission charges, or to confirm that the event is happening; I draw information for these listings from venue Web sites, which may be inaccurate or out of date. Contact info for venues that regularly host events is at the bottom of the page.

These listings are by no means complete. If you’re an author coming to town, or if you’re affiliated with a bookstore or other venue hosting a reading and you’d like to be included here, please drop me a line. The listings are updated every Saturday.
