Due to the enormous size of this list, I only show events about four weeks in advance. There is also a master calendar that has all listings.
Bookstores in this list may include:
A Great Good Place For Books (Oakland)
Barnes & Noble (various Bay Area Locations)
Books Inc. (various Bay Area Locations)
Borderlands Books (San Francisco)
Copperfield's Books (Various Locations)
East Bay Booksellers (Oakland)
Green Apple Books (San Francisco)
Hicklebee's Children's Books (San Jose)
Kepler's Books (Menlo Park)
Mrs. Dalloway's (Berkeley)
Orinda Books (Orinda)
Pegasus Books (Berkeley & Oakland)
Point Reyes Bookstore (Point Reyes)
Rakestraw Books (Danville)
The Booksmith (San Francisco)
Town Center Books (Pleasanton)
I am attempting to make this a one stop place to find book signings in the San Francisco Bay Area! I will mostly focus on YA books, but I will also include some general fiction if I think it will be of interest. I do not list non-fiction books (There are simply too many events of those to list). I think this is an extensive list, but there is always the possibility that I missed an event (Hey, I'm human). If you think there is an event that I should include, please leave me a note in the comments section. Thanks.
All book graphics have links to GoodReads so you can check them out.
As always, it is a good idea to call the store a day or two before to confirm that the scheduled event is still on. I have learned that these events change constantly.

world of books," starting in 1917. This vital part of the Northern
California publishing community includes New York Times
bestselling authors, writing coaches, award-winning editors, literary
agents, National Book Critics, book to film creatives, librarians, and
an Indiefab Publisher of the Year, offering insider secrets to getting
your book published In this Centennial Showcase, the authors from the
WNBA-SF will read from their books and join in a panel discussion of how
women's voices and those of diversity are more important than ever
