BookCon to expand to two days in 2015
It's a good day to be a book lover.
BookCon, a Comic-Con-style event for book fans, is expanding to two days in its second year, organizer ReedPOP announced Thursday.
The event will take place May 30-31, 2015, at New York's Javits Center. So far authors Leigh Bardugo (The Grisha Trilogy), Meg Cabot (The Princess Diaries) and Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles), among others, will be attending the event. Actor Taye Diggs will also be there to talk about his upcoming book, Mixed Me.
2014's BookCon, a one-day event, featured appearances from authors like John Green, Veronica Roth and Jodi Picoult, along with famous faces including Amy Poehler, Martin Short and comics legend Stan Lee. The event brought 10,000 literary fans to the Javits Center.
Tickets for BookCon 2015 are now available. Additional guests, exhibitors and details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
