SXSW Books! No, it’s not a real thing, and no, we’re not an official SXSW venue or anything like that. But we do happen to have a few awesome events happening during the madness and we’d love to see you here.
All authors will speak about and sign their books at these events. The speaking portion of each event is free and open to the public. If you would like a book signed, you must purchase a copy of the event book from BookPeople, no exceptions. BookPeople wristbands or tickets are required for the signings and are only available with the purchase of a copy of the event book. Your SXSW wristbands, badges, etc. will not get you anything at these events.

We hope to see you here! We’re located directly across the street from Waterloo Records, an independent record store whose day shows you absolutely should not miss during SXSW. Our bathrooms are on the second floor. We have a cafe serving coffee, sandwiches, tamales, empanadas and a wide variety of snacks to keep you fueled. Don’t forget to buy an extra bottle of water. Stay hydrated, kids, and don’t forget to buy a book to read on the plane ride home.
