Presenting the official 2026 Poster Art — photo illustration by longtime YALLFest graphic designer Andrea Haseley!
The vintage look is a tribute to our roster full of legends (the opening keynote lineup alone has sold a combined 100 million books!) AND many legends-in-the-making.
Which books from YALLFest weekend will become tattered-jacket collectibles decades from now? “Be careful with that one — I got it in Charleston back at YALLFest XVI”

It takes a lot to move the pieces of a book festival to the finish line...BUT YOU CAN HELP 🎲
We are just over one month away from YALLFest 2026 and we are looking for Charleston-area book lovers who can help us make this festival happen.

You won’t be board at YALLFest this year!
The 2026 author lineup is live at YALLFest.org 🎲
All authors participate in a panel and signing on Saturday with some also participating in events on Friday.

Ticketed Signing Reminders 🧩
Tickets for ticketed signings as well as Fierce Friday and Wednesday Books Special Event (Bedazzle before the Dark Descent) drop on Sunday, November 1!
Swipe for more information >>
Select Friday and Saturday signings will be ticketed in advance. This is a system to help prioritize both attendee safety and author wellbeing. These free tickets will go live on Sunday, November 1st in hopes this gives adequate notice to help with packing and planning, while minimizing the amount of no shows.
All other signings are first-come, first-serve and may still get cut off if they reach capacity.
Unless otherwise noted, YALLFest authors will sign up to 3 books per person per trip through the line. Many lines will only allow for one trip per person, due to time constraints.
Personalizations are when an author signs to your name. So in addition to their signature, they write “to Becky” or whatever your name might be! Unless otherwise noted, authors will personalize all of the books you’re having signed.
Please note, tickets are non-transferable. You may only reserve one ticket per person.
If someone is waiting in line with a friend/child/etc. & not getting books signed, they do not need a ticket & will be able to wait in line with the ticketholder until they reach the front of the line.
For authors with both Friday and Saturday tickets, you may only get a ticket for one of those days to allow for as many people to see these authors as possible.
Tickets will be through Eventbrite. Tickets are expected to be claimed very quickly.
Please note, like at popular concerts, there may be more attendees hoping for a ticket than there are tickets. This means that even when logging on exactly on time, there’s still a possibility of not being able to claim a ticket. There is no perfect system but this one keeps attendees the safest. We have made as many tickets available for each signing as possible.
You probably won’t be able to get every single book signed! Hard choices might need to be made. Some of your favorite authors might be signing at the same time, some lines might reach capacity before you can get there, there’s a variety of factors.

Don’t roll the dice with your signed books this year! Did you know you can preorder signed books by YALLFest authors from @bluebicyclebooks?
This makes it easy for you (to guarantee the book you want is in your hands) and bookstore staff (to make sure they’re ordering enough) AND other attendees (to help lines at the bookstore tent)
Have them shipped to you or pick them up at the bookstore the weekend of YALLFest. For in-store pick-up, use code PICKUP to remove shipping charges. Order at the link in our bio.
Call Blue Bicycle at 843-722-2666 with any questions.

YALLFest is expanding to include a new track!
In addition to our 20+ panels of Young Adult and Middle Grade programming, we’re offering a new track this year — ROMFest — that is for readers 18+ and all about romantasy! This track, like our middle grade programming, offers readers who want to exclusively participate in that track the ability to fill their day with 3 panels and signings from participating authors. ROMFest will be headlined by a free keynote from bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst!
All ROMFest panels and signings will be specifically noted as such when the full schedule is released in mid-October
