All Booked Out, an annual author market filled with indie and traditionally published authors, creatives and bookish businesses in Vic, AU.
In 2026, All Booked Out (hosted by Coven Press Author Services) is back. The same bookish festival but bigger!
Boasting an author market of 52 independently published and traditionally published authors, bookish businesses, vendors, creative artists and designers as well as numerous workshops from an incredible lineup, All Booked Out sets to champion local Victorian literary creatives.
As part of All Booked Out 2026, a number of workshops will be running throughout the day. Workshops are independently ticketed and include general entry to All Booked Out 2026. Workshops include:
1. Megan Reidl's Poetess Office Hours Experience (buy tickets here)
2. Zoe Gomez Cass' Blackout Poetry Workshop (buy tickets here)
3. Mandi Kontos' Writing Mindset Workshop (buy tickets here)
Coven Press have decided to keep EOIs open for authors, vendors, businesses and experiences at All Booked Out 2026. While we do not guarantee placement at All Booked Out, we still welcome applications for last minute cancellations and changes.

Coven Press pays deep respects to the traditional custodians and original storytellers of the lands on which we live and work, the Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and recognise their continuing connection to the lands, waterways and skies. We acknowledge the Aboriginal history of storytelling and respect the privilege to contribute to this ongoing tradition.
We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
