All Booked Out 2026: Kith and Kin

All Booked Out is an annual author market filled with indie and traditionally published authors, creatives and bookish businesses in Victoria.

In 2026, All Booked Out (hosted by Coven Press Author Services) is back. The same bookish festival but bigger. Boasting an author market of 40 independently published and traditionally published authors, bookish businesses and vendors and creative artists and designers, All Booked Out sets to champion local Victorian literary creatives.

Held at Brown Hill Community Hall, All Booked Out: Kith and Kin will feature names such as award-winning authors Emma Mugglestone and Karen Sparnon, and local favourites Anthony Kearle and Digby Stevens. The aim is foster a space of inclusivity and connection for readers and authors alike to connect, collaborate and sell/buy novels and wares.

Coven Press is a self-publishing services business, headed up by four local women, all fellow creatives themselves. Offering editing, design, formatting and marketing services, Coven Press guides writers from blank page to book launch.
