Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2025

This was our first time as a vendor and did not like our location, so we were wondering if you get a better location if you enter earlier rather than later? How do you place the vendors

completely mixed up. I was told not to bring other books except the two copies of one of my novels. and that i would have to pay extra $3000 if I wanted to sign . Then I saw others signing and giving out their books..I printed bookmarks but didnt bring them. Others were giving out pens, bags etc. NO information given. I am 76 and the heat was killing me By 130 I became sick of the heat, I didn't see a nurse or someone who could help so finally, with the help of other authors in booth 126 I was helped all the way to Jefferson to get and Uber.. Mixed feelings . I needed to be given information ahead of time.

The guests on the main L.A. Times Main stage were very interesting.

Check out the schedule ahead of time and plan what you'd like to do during the day.

Our network prepared me for signage, presentation, how to engage individuals in a mass of people.
