The NYS Writers Institute’s 3rd Annual Albany Book Festival will be held September 10th through the 24th with all events taking place online, free, and open to the public.

The festival will feature engrossing conversations with amazing featured authors, including National Book Award winner Colum McCann; National Book Award finalist Edwidge Danticat; Noam Chomsky, one of the most cited scholars in modern history; Sister Helen Prejean, author of "Dead Man Walking;" and many more.

This year’s lineup reinforces the institute’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and offering voices across the spectrum. The Virtual Writers Institute will present their fall programming online on the NYS Writers Institute’s YouTube channel and at albanybookfestival.com.

To tell us more, we welcome Writers Institute Director Paul Grondahl.
