All Booked Out 2026: Kith & Kin
In 2026, Coven Press will be hosting All Booked Out: Kith & Kin, an annual author market held in Ballarat. This year, we explore the theme of Kith and Kin, which has linguistic roots in family, friendship, homeland and knowledge.
This theme manifests in providing publishing creatives opportunities for connection to readers and fellow creatives.
We would love to see:
- Indie and traditionally published authors sharing one collaborative space.
- Artists and creatives who want to share their wares and skills for immersive experiences.
- Bookish businesses looking to connect with authors and other brands to shift and challenge the publishing scene together.
We do not want to see:
- Applications from authors, creatives or businesses who use or support generative AI.
Date: 22nd November 2026
Time: 10:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Brown Hill Community Hall, Ballarat
MORE INFORMATION TO COME.
