All Booked Out is an annual author market filled with indie and traditionally published authors, creatives and bookish businesses in Victoria.

In 2026, All Booked Out (hosted by Coven Press Author Services) is back. The same bookish festival but bigger. Boasting an author market of 40 independently published and traditionally published authors, bookish businesses and vendors and creative artists and designers, All Booked Out sets to champion local Victorian literary creatives.

Held at Brown Hill Community Hall, All Booked Out: Kith and Kin will feature names such as award-winning authors Emma Mugglestone and Karen Sparnon, and local favourites Anthony Kearle and Digby Stevens. The aim is foster a space of inclusivity and connection for readers and authors alike to connect, collaborate and sell/buy novels and wares.

Coven Press is a self-publishing services business, headed up by four local women, all fellow creatives themselves. Offering editing, design, formatting and marketing services, Coven Press guides writers from blank page to book launch.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
