BookCarnival exists to bring authors, readers, and book lovers together in one welcoming global community where stories can be discovered, shared, and celebrated.
We believe books have the power to connect people across backgrounds, cultures, and borders. Our mission is to create a virtual literary experience where authors can be discovered and heard, readers can find their next great story, and everyone who loves books has a place to belong.
Through a new Carnival every two months, we create regular opportunities to discover new voices, explore new books, meet authors, and be part of conversations that celebrate the world of storytelling.
At its heart, BookCarnival is about one simple idea: Bringing people together through the stories they love.
BookCarnival is a virtual literary festival created to bring the world of books closer to the people who love them.
Every two months, authors and readers from around the world come together for a new Carnival, an opportunity to discover remarkable books, meet the voices behind them, and take part in conversations that make reading more meaningful.
Each edition offers its own mix of author conversations, interviews, book showcases, panels, readings, workshops, and interactive experiences, giving both established and emerging authors a place to share their work and giving readers something new to discover.
There are no borders to BookCarnival. Wherever you are, you can be part of the celebration. More than a virtual event, BookCarnival is a growing community built around a shared love of authors, books, and stories.
