Interested in hosting a book launch, author talk, or other kind of book event? Please fill out THIS FORM and our Programs Coordinator will be in touch with you within 5 business days. While we cannot accommodate every request made, we try our best to consider each and every request. If we agree to sponsor your event, all room fees are waived. 

Busboys and Poets Books offers most events for free to the public, unless otherwise requested. We are proud to offer both in person and virtual livestreams as options for events depending on room availability and author preference. For every bookstore sponsored event, we guarantee the facilitation of book sales before and during the event (both in person and virtually). We do not currently offer authors/speakers honorariums for events. 

If you’d like to reach out directly to our Programs Coordinator, you can email bookevents@busboysandpoets.com or call (202) 599-0398 during regular business hours (M-F, 9 AM to 5 PM EST). 

If you’d like to book one of our spaces for a private event, please submit an event inquiry here
