The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
In most years, this annual celebration of the written word would draw tens of thousands of book lovers to the Texas State Capitol for two days of readings, panel discussions, cooking demos, live music, and food vendors by some 300 authors. Owing to the pandemic, this year’s 25th anniversary festival is taking place online and is spread over three weekends.
