The annual Orlando Book Festival is almost here, bringing a packed day of panels, author talks and more bibliophile goodness.

There will even be a closing keynote speech presented by famed novelist R.L. Stine, author of the iconic teen horror series Goosebumps. Additional featured authors include Sorboni Banerjee, Kelly Coon, Jan Eldridge, Lauren Gibaldi, Racquel Henry and more.

The event is free to attend, but registration is required to attend Stine’s keynote.
