The 2026 edition of European Authors Day and the associated Read For Real campaign will once again bring readers, authors, and cultural organisations together across Europe.
Between 11 November and 12 December 2026, schools, libraries, bookshops and cultural institutions will organise literary events that connect authors with readers and celebrate the power of books. Whether you are an organiser, an author or part of a reading community, you are invited to join the initiative.
European Authors Day and the Read for Real campaign aims not only to celebrate and encourage events, spaces, and communities where writers, illustrators, translators, and graphic artists become beloved voices and inspiring heroes for children and young people.
