Love books? Excited for the Ascendio Quill Track? Want to discover new books, both hot YA titles and books written by fellow Ascendio attendees? Ascendio's Authorpalooza/Book Fair event is for you!

If you're a fan of YA, the Ascendio Authorpalooza is for you! Everyone is invited to enjoy readings and signings by fantastic authors and peruse our Book Fair and Vendor Rooms!

Authorpalooza will take place from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.  on Thursday, July 12th, as a pre-con event. Whether you've just settled into your hotel room and want some activities before Night of a Thousand Wizards 2, or want to attend a reading/signing between Wrock sets, or want to browse books after picking up your Registration pack, Authorpalooza is a great opportunity to interact with Ascendio authors, and get a preview of The Quill Track.

PLUS if you plan on pitching your novel to one of Ascendio's literary agents, Authorpalooza is where you'll get first dibs on the sign-up form!

We have a preliminary schedule of reading/signings. In addition to the readings/signings going on in Davinci and Michaelangelo, we'll have several tables outside Registration where you can browse books by fellow attendees, as well as meet representatives from companies such as Omnific Publishing and Wattpad, who can help you take your writing to the next level!
