The 2nd annual Carmel Authors & Ideas Festival will bring to Carmel-by-the Sea more than 35 award winning authors, including authors of New York Times best-sellers, and Pulitzer and Nobel prize winners - winners of virtually every prestigious literary award and much more.

Oprah Winfrey’s first annual Chutzpah Award winner,  Coach Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history,  just to name a few, plus 35 award winning authors, they will all be here.

The festival will be held in the intimate and luxurious Sunset Community Center Theater. There will be book signings and opportunities to meet the famous authors. There is limited seating available, so attendees can expect casual conversations and informal exchanges with the authors.

We promise the weekend will exceed your every expectation. The authors will be inspiring, entertaining, insightful, and compelling.

Because the character of the Festival calls for a certain degree of intimacy, tickets are limited. Requests for tickets are filled in the order in which they are received. Cost of a Festival ticket to attend all general sessions is $515, plus taxes. Please call 831-625-5479 for sponsorship details.
