Are you a local author or creator of book-related art? Want to be part of the Alameda Book Con 2026 (ABC 2026) at the Alameda Free Library on July 11, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.? If so, be sure to complete the online application form to reserve your table.

Due to space constraints, exhibitors will be allowed just three feet of table space, or half of a six-foot table. If you are a publisher or require multiple table spaces, please fill out the application form and email [email protected] for further information and instructions. Please use “ABC 2026” in the email subject line.
All works showcased at the event must be created by San Francisco Bay Area residents. Applications must be filed by Sunday, May 17, at 5 p.m. Please note: If generative AI was used in the creation of your products or projects, this must be clearly communicated to ABC 2026 organizers and to any potential customers.
Given the great number of creative Bay Area residents, organizers are expecting a high volume of applications and may not be able to accept all of them, due to room size constraints. ABC 2026 exhibitors will be chosen by the curation staff based on a number of criteria, so please be thorough when filling out the application.
All applicants will be contacted by June 1 to let them know whether their registration and table space requests have been accepted.
If you need more information about this event, please email the library at [email protected] and use ABC 2026 in the subject line.
