Deets: On Saturday, August 12, 2023, the East Hampton Library will present its 19th Annual Authors Night fundraiser. One of the most popular and celebrity-studded events of the Hamptons’ summer calendar, Authors Night features 100 authors across all genres. The “Premier Literary Event of the Hamptons” has grown over its history to become one of the most successful celebrations of books and authors in America, and one of the largest library-author events of its kind in the country.

Participating authors include (list in formation): Tessa Bailey, Don Bentley, Geoffrey Berman, Patrick Bringley, Tom Clavin, Lauren Graham, Maggie Haberman, A.M. Homes, Susan Isaacs, Jean Hanff Korelitz, Wesley Lowery, Steve Madden, Andrew McCarthy, Annabel Monaghan, David Netto, Paulina Poriskova, Ryan Serhant, Jill Santopolo, Viola Shipman, Linda Villarosa, and Chris Whipple. As the event nears, more best-selling, prize-winning, celebrity, and distinguished authors will be added to the roster of participants.

The evening begins at 5 pm with the Authors Reception under a grand tent, where guests enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and wine, meet and mingle with the authors, buy their books, and have them personally inscribed. At 8 pm, directly following the Authors Reception, guests dine at dinner parties at private area homes in honor of one or more of the guest authors.
