When and Where is SBF?
The 2025 Savannah Book Festival will be held on February 6-9. A full schedule of events will be released closer to the Festival.
Our four-day Festival takes place in Savannah’s Historic District against a backdrop of stunning historic buildings, cascading Spanish moss, and blooming Azaleas. Each year, over 9,000 people join us for three ticketed Headliner Address events and for our free Festival Saturday.
Festival Saturday presentations take place in museums, churches, and theaters in and around the historic Telfair and Chippewa Squares in the heart of Downtown Savannah. Our lineup of nationally-recognized authors from wide-ranging genres give 30-minute solo presentations on their creative process, followed by a Q&A and book signing.
Headliner Addresses are ticketed events presented in the Historic Trustees Theater in Downtown Savannah. Headliners give a 45-minute presentation on their creative process and life as a writer, followed by a Q&A and book signing. Sponsors and Literati members receive guaranteed access to Headliner Addresses.

I would love information on being a vendor. I've published a children's book.
I would so love to be there. May the next one.
Can’t wait!!
Happy National Intern Day to all of the SCAD Interns who have made SBF one of the most successful literary events in the country. We could not do this without you! #scad #scadsavannah#SBF#savannahbookfestival#internday

One of my favorite parts of living in Savannah 🥰 SBF is the best!
From fake relationships to star-crossed time travelers to queer throuples, these authors are not your mother’s romance writers... Ahead of their upcoming releases, Jackie Lau, Kaliane Bradley, and TJ Alexander will discuss what makes a great romance, and how the genre can go far beyond a simple love story. ✨
Join us this Wednesday, April 24, for a #AuthorFest to remember, hosted by Simon & Schuster and moderated by Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. Visit the link below to RSVP! 📚
