An event focused on literary works aimed at adults, not children or young adults, can offer a curated selection of books, author signings, and literary discussions catering to a mature readership. These events often feature genres such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and specialized topics like history, science, or business.
The benefit of these literary gatherings include discovering new authors and genres, engaging directly with authors, and connecting with other readers. Historically, similar events have existed in various forms, evolving from traditional book festivals and literary conferences to include more commercial aspects and wider public access.
