Join us for a night of stories, poems, toasts and more!

Join us for a night of stories, poems, toasts and more! We're amassing a long list of local authors that have had a great impact on our lives and the lives of many through their work. Come meet some great local authors (yes, we will have books for them to sign), and say goodbye to ten years, literally thousands of events, and the end of an era at Volumes.


A majority portion of ticket sales will be donated to the BINC Foundation (Book Industry Charitable Foundation), an incredible charity that helps booksellers in need. The rest will help us to have some wine and snacks for all to enjoy!


The growing list of participants:

Rebecca Makkai - The Great Believers, I Have Some Questions for You, The Borrowers

Natalie Y Moore - The South Side

Julia Fine/Margaux Eliot - THe Upstairs House, What Should Be Wild, Honeymoon Stage

Megan Stielstra - Wrong Way to Save Your Life, Once I Was Cool, Everyone Remain Calm
