Another great writer who makes Brooklyn their home! We were thrilled to present Amitav Ghosh with the 2026 BoBi Award (Best of Brooklyn) last week at our Gala Mingle author celebration.
Having made Fort Greene his home for 30 years and continuing to inspire readers across the globe, Amitav Ghosh best exemplifies the spirit of Brooklyn. Congratulations, @amitav_ghosh1!

The Brooklyn Book Festival is deeply thankful for the extraordinary support we received during the Norâeaster.
This yearâs festival could not have taken place without Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and MOME Commissioner Rafael Espinal providing much needed support, and the Brooklyn Law School, Brooklyn Heights Library, The Center for Brooklyn History, and St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church who gave us, quite literally, shelter from the storm. They saved the festival from cancellation, and we will always be thankful for their generosity.

We were heartbroken to cancel the Brooklyn Book Festival Childrenâs Day Book Market and Festival Day Marketplace this year due to the Norâeaster.
If youâre able, we encourage all you book lovers to visit BrooklynBookFestival.org/Vendor to find the publishers and authors who would have been participating in #BKBF2026 and show them the same love and support that you would have during the festival days! Fill your tote bags â¤ď¸đ

Gray skies, bright spirits! âď¸đ Thank you to everyone who braved the storm to join us for the 21st Brooklyn Book Festival flagship day. We loved seeing so many talented authors, artists, illustrators, and moderators take the stage at the Brooklyn Law School, Brooklyn Borough Hall, Brooklyn Heights Library, Center for Brooklyn History, and St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church. Every conversation was captivating, and we were thrilled to see so many books signed!
Thank you again to @bkbpreynoso and @nycmomecommish for your much needed support. Looking forward to doing it again next year WITHOUT a norâeaster and WITH our much missed Literary Marketplace.
In the meantime, you can find recordings from our Virtual Festival Day on our website and YouTube. Stay tuned for more recorded programming coming your way soon.

A stormy Saturday night couldnât keep Brooklynâs book lovers away. đ
Several hundred readers, writers, and friends gathered at BKLYN STUDIOS as @bkbookfest presented its BoBi Award to @amitav_ghosh1, a Brooklyn literary star who has called Fort Greene home for almost 30 years.
The night also put a spotlight on @bklynlibraryâs Book Prize winners: @emilyhuntress for fiction and @sarahazizawrites for nonfiction.
Thank you to the Brooklyn Book Festival and everyone who joined us!
