DSM Book Festival 2026 (Des Moines, IA)
May 2 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
The DSM Book Festival is a free, fun-filled event, presented by Beaverdale Books and the Beaverdale Neighborhood Association, will take place at the Franklin Event Center, 4801 Franklin Avenue in Des Moines. In addition to author programs, panels, workshops, and children’s activities, attendees can have books signed, connect with publishers, and mingle with fellow book lovers. I’ll be there signing copies of my books from 11:15 AM to 12:45 PM, and I’d love to see you!
