Every year, Authors on the Move brings an extraordinary cohort of literary talent directly to guests’ tables.
This premier event offers guests the rare opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversations with a distinguished group of celebrated California writers, culminating in a powerful address by an acclaimed keynote speaker, such as Hahrie Han (Undivided). Keeping the mission of getting books into kids’ hands throughout the evening, guests get to connect with today’s most compelling authors shaped by early literacy skills themselves, purchase signed copies, and directly invest in Sacramento’s children’s literacy movement.
