It's not just before the Leipzig Book Fair that many writers go on reading tours and present their new publications.
In March and April you should not miss these dates.
A reading by your favorite author is a very special thing.
Every now and then there is a short conversation while signing the books and you don't have to wait in line as long as the longest queue at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Other times there is an interview, such as with Anthony McCarten about his book “Going Zero”.
Authors who go on reading tours are the rock stars among writers.
We present excerpts of interesting reading dates for March and April here.

Exciting readings in March
Many authors read at the Leipzig Book Fair.
So we can only provide a brief overview here.
The detailed program can be found on the book fair website.
Some authors, such as Arne Dahl or Jens Henrik Jensen, combine an appearance at the book fair with a reading tour before or after.
Jussi Adler-Olsen's reading tour is canceled due to illness.
His tenth and final volume about the “Special Department Q” promises many exciting hours of reading.
