YALLFest, the nation’s largest Young Adult book festival, marks its 15th anniversary this November 14–15 in Charleston, South Carolina. This milestone year brings together 70+ acclaimed YA authors from around the globe for two days of panels, signings, and conversations that spotlight compelling voices in the young adult literature today.
Curated by bestselling authors Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz, the 2025 lineup will feature New York Times bestsellers, debut talent, and creators with major book-to-screen projects in development. Attendees can expect 30+ panels on emerging themes in YA, over 100 signings, and ticketed keynotes at Charleston Music Hall.
In addition to drawing thousands of YA readers, educators, and librarians each year, YALLFest fosters deep industry connections — offering publishers and authors a high-impact platform for book promotion and fan engagement. Past guests have included Jason Reynolds, Sarah J. Maas, R.L. Stine, Veronica Roth, Angie Thomas, and James Patterson.
YALLFest is hosted by Blue Bicycle Books with presenting sponsor Entangled Publishing and support from Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster. Many events are free and open to the public, with a portion of programming dedicated to school outreach and community engagement.
