july 17, 2024

HumbookFest is a literary festival for young adult readers that has no parallels in Europe. This year’s edition will offer visitors great Czech authors, illustrators, podcasters and other creators, thematic talks and workshops. The biggest attraction for readers will undoubtedly be the stellar trio of foreign writers: Holly Black, Becky Albertalli and Elizabeth Briggs. And of course there will also be a show of fantastic cosplays, a game zone and lots of other original activities.

New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Briggs is back as one of Amazon’s best-selling fantasy romance authors. Her paranormal fantasy romances with bold heroines and intrepid heroes are characterized by unexpected twists, erotic scenes and happy endings that will not leave a dry eye.

Becky Albertalli won the William C. Morris Award for her debut novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and was nominated for the Andrew Carnegie Award and the US National Book Award. Also published in Czech were the novels The Upside of Unrequited, Leah on the Offbeat and Kate in Waiting.

Holly Back is one of America’s most successful young adult authors. Her books won not only critical acclaim, but also popularity among readers in many countries around the world – they were translated into 32 languages. Her most successful work is The Spiderwick Chronicles. In 2018, she introduced readers to the world of treacherous fairies and followed up the bestselling The Cruel Prince series with The Stolen Heir duology.

In addition to foreign authors, Czech writers will present themselves – both established names and newcomers to the literary world. At the discussions, we will deal with current topics that move not only the book world of young readers. All this and much more will be HumbookFest 2024!
