SBF’s Headliner Addresses are premier, ticketed events held at the historic Trustees Theater in Downtown Savannah. These three marquee sessions — scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday — feature renowned authors offering candid reflections on their creative process, career paths, and the writing life.

Each Headliner speaks for 45 minutes, sharing insights on their latest book, pivotal experiences, and personal lessons with fellow writers and book lovers. Every talk is followed by an audience Q&A and a book signing for Festival-purchased titles.
