The authors are presented throughout a day-long program offering opportunities to attendees to mingle with fellow readers, meet authors and have books autographed. 2015 speakers are Aimee Bender, Kate Christensen, Jennifer Clement, Sloane Crosley, Christina Henriquez, Eleanor Morse, and Jenny Offill.
