A Spokane special keynote opportunity for authors from the greater-Spokane area to be the first faces to welcome booksellers to the city and show off Spokane literary sites on the eve of the show. The first part of this event (4:30 pm to 6:00 pm) is presented in partnership with the Spokane Public Library, and will be open to the public. After a short dinner break, the second portion (8:00 pm to 9:00 pm) will be for PNBA participants only, at Auntie's Bookstore. Please arrive at a half an hour before the start time of your portion of the event to meet the Emcee and other authors, and to get speaking order and other logistics squared away. Copies of the books provided will be available for PNBA participants only, back at the hotel, so we will have to make arrangements to meet you for signing prior to the even.  Our friendly and experienced staff will be ready to help you at all steps along the way.

This is a PRE-SHOW event. The tradeshow itself will take place Sunday September 28 thru Tuesday September 30. As a featured author, PNBA will give you and one preregistered guest show badges. The badges will allow you to attend educational sessions, exhibits, and PNBA events and parties, except those that require meal tickets.. If you would like to purchase tickets for other events at the show, please fill out a Meal Ticket Form. Your badges and meal tickets will be delivered at the event. More information about the show is available at the show page on our website.

PNBA considers Fall Tradeshow authors to be our celebrities. We pledge to make sure that you have a fun and productive show.
