The Brooklyn Book Festival is an annual book fair held in the fall in Brooklyn, New York.[1] It was begun in 2006 by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, co-producers Liz Koch and Carolyn Greer[2] who wanted to showcase the "Brooklyn voice" in literature, as numerous authors reside in the borough.[3] In subsequent years the fair has expanded its scope and hosted many non-Brooklyn and international writers, including Joan Didion, Dennis Lehane, John Reed, Rosanne Cash, Salman Rushdie, Karl Ove Knausgård and Dave Eggers.[4]

In 2009, attendance reached 30,000.[5] Also in 2009, St. Francis College established a biannual Literary Prize worth US$50,000 to support a mid-career writer.[6] The winner of the prize is announced by a panel of authors during the Brooklyn Book Festival every other year in September.

The festival includes themed readings, panel discussions, vendors, and author signings.[7] In recent years, the Book Festival has expanded to include a Children's Day[8] and Bookends, literary-themed events[9] like book readings, parties, stand-up shows and performances in various public venues in Brooklyn.
