S3E3: 2026 Book Signing Events: Your Ultimate Global Guide

Upcoming Book Events & Festivals (Australia, NZ, USA & UK/Europe) + Tips for First-Timers | The Plot With a TwistIn this episode of The Plot With A Twist, we share why book events feel magical—meeting authors and fellow readers, discovering special editions, cosplay, and memorable community moments—while also warning to expect overstimulation, long queues, and occasional poorly run venues. We swap do’s and don’ts like pre-ordering, bringing water, snacks, book plates, and a trolley or suitcase for hauling books, planning priority authors, and not being rude to authors or attendees (including respecting breaks and sold-out stock). We rounded up notable upcoming book festivals and signings across the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK/Europe, highlighting events like Wild Out West, Rare (Berlin/Florence), Apollycon, and others.
