The Savannah Book Festival (SBF) announces authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, #1 New York Times bestselling co-authors of the wildly popular Pendergast series as the Keynote Address Headliner for the 2023 Savannah Book Festival. We are thrilled to bring Preston and Child in-person to the Festival. SBF celebrates its 16th year as one of the finest, invitation-only literary festivals in the country. It will be held February 16-19, 2023.

Preston and Child will present the Keynote Address on Friday, February 17, 2023, at 6:00 pm at the historic Trustees Theater. Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities both made NPR’s list of 100 best thrillers, and Relic was made into a #1 box office hit movie. Their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, Gideon's Corpse, and Bloodless, which is set in Savannah, GA. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for The New Yorker and Smithsonian Magazine. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller Deep Storm.

Tickets for the Keynote Address will go on sale to the public in January 2023. SBF Sponsors and Gold Literati members will receive tickets with their sponsorship benefits. Silver Literati members have an opportunity to purchase tickets before the public sale in January. Visit www.savannahbookfestival.org to learn more.
