Most Expected Literary Events of 2025 (Remaining)
For some, this year’s major literary events are pleasant or interesting surprises that you can enjoy for now rather than anticipate. For others, bookmarking these opportunities in advance is a huge attraction, planning, forecasting and building. Me and the rest of the editorial team are doing business that is ahead of the line of what this year has for book lovers, publishers, industry experts and more. So we’re gathering towards the end of 2024 to plot everything from the birthdays of literary greats to the anniversary of a book that has deepened its cultural influence, to the literary awards and events of the year. These events are becoming a very busy year in books, so we make a mark when it’s happening on the site, but we expect so many big, exciting literary events in 2025.
Whether you’re a book-focused creator of adjacent content, someone who strengthens TBR with literary award winners, or a book lover who appreciates knowing, I’m here at the starting point for calendaring the rest of this celebratory year…
