BookCon New York 2026

BookCon is a two-day event where storytelling and pop culture collide.

Step into a weekend where stories come alive and fantasy meets reality. Where meeting your favorite author is just the beginning of your adventure. From intimate author chats and immersive experiences to book swaps that feel like treasure hunts, we're building an event for lovers of storytelling in all its forms.

Consider this your official permission slip to geek out about that one specific paragraph on page 247 that made you throw the book across the room (in the best way possible). Whether you're a longtime BookTube, Bookstagram, or BookTok creator or someone who quietly devours three books a week in your favorite reading nook, your chapter in this story is essential.

Transform your reading experience into art at our hands-on workshop spaces. Learn the techniques that make books beautiful—from sprayed edge tutorials and custom cover design to bookmark crafting and book nook creation. BookCon pulls your fave stories from the page with conversations that'll give you all the feels and behind-the-scenes insights you never knew you needed.
