TBR BOOK FESTIVAL

Join us for an exciting celebration of independent and self-published authors at the "TBR BOOK FESTIVAL", hosted at the iconic 'Band on the Wall' in Manchester city centre. This vibrant venue offers the perfect space for authors to connect with readers, network with fellow creatives, and showcase their work in a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere.

We’re inviting authors from all genres and backgrounds — from spine-chilling horror to heartfelt general fiction, gripping historical fiction, and everything in between. We especially encourage POC authors and underrepresented voices to take part and share their unique stories with our diverse audience.

Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy freebies, giveaways, and the opportunity to purchase books directly from authors. There will be a dedicated relaxation area for refreshments and a chance to wind down, as well as a mezzanine level for more intimate conversations with authors, editors, and industry professionals — perfect for those burning questions about writing, publishing, and promotion.

Whether you’re an indie author looking to expand your audience or a book lover eager to discover something new, TBR Book Festival promises a day full of creativity, community, and connection.
