Arizona is home to a vibrant community of storytellers, authors who capture the beauty, challenges, and imagination of our state through their words. At the Scottsdale Book Festival on January 24, 2026, you’ll have the chance to meet many of these incredible local writers in person.
Why Arizona Authors Matter
Our state’s authors reflect the diverse landscapes and cultures of the Southwest. From desert-inspired poetry and Western fiction to contemporary novels, children’s books, and memoirs, Arizona writers offer stories that resonate with readers of all ages.
A Festival That Celebrates Local Talent
The Scottsdale Book Festival is proud to feature dozens of Arizona authors alongside national and international guests. This is more than a book signing, it’s a chance to connect with the people behind the stories, ask questions, and discover books you may never have encountered otherwise.
Meet and Support Local Authors
Buying a book directly from an Arizona author at the festival is more than a purchase, it’s an investment in our literary community. Your support helps keep local voices thriving and ensures that the tradition of storytelling continues for years to come.
