While Festival attendance is always free of charge, there will be two ticketed events for headlining authors Malcolm Gladwell and Matthew McConaughey.

Gladwell’s session will feature the bestselling author in a conversation with Michele Norris (also a featured Festival author), highlighting his forthcoming book, Revenge of the Tipping Point, at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16 at First Baptist Church, 9th and Trinity Streets.

McConaughey’s session will celebrate the paperback release of Greenlights, which includes a new afterword, with the Academy Award-winner in conversation with celebrated director Richard Linklater at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, also at First Baptist Church.

This event is currently sold out. We’re exploring options to allow additional guests access to the event, so stay tuned for details.
