🖤📚 Meet the final group of Multi-Genre authors at the Holland Literary Festival!

We’ve saved a wonderfully eclectic group for last. From horror and suspense to memoirs and medieval stories, these authors prove that there is no one way to tell a great story. And yes, there are even cats involved. 🐈📖 Plus, we’re featuring a member of the publishing community who helps bring stories from the page to readers.

There truly is a little bit of everything in this final group, so come meet them, explore their work and discover something unexpected!

📖✨ HEAR THE STORIES COME TO LIFE ✨📖

There’s something different about hearing an author read their own words.

The voice. The emotion. The tension. The characters. The moment a story leaves the page and comes alive right in front of you.

Throughout the Holland Literary Festival, authors will be taking the mic at The Bluestocking Bookshop for short LIVE readings from their books!

From children’s books and middle grade fantasy to thrillers, memoirs, romance, military fiction, dystopian stories and everything in between, there’s a little something for every kind of reader. 📚

Swipe through the carousel to find your favorite genres, discover new authors and build your reading schedule!

And here’s the real question...

👀 Which genre would you most want to hear read LIVE?

Come hear a story. Stay for another. Leave with a new book on your TBR. ❤️📚
