Top Talent Book Week Returns September 1–6: A Virtual Celebration of Books, Authors & Opportunity

From September 1–6, 2026, authors, publishers, readers and industry leaders will come together virtually for Top Talent Book Week, hosted by David Fagen.

Held via Zoom, this multi-day event is designed to celebrate books that inform, inspire and entertain while creating meaningful opportunities for the people behind the pages.

Throughout the week, participants can look forward to:

• Author interviews
• Panel discussions
• Book showcases
• Awards and nominations
• Publisher features
• Industry conversations
• Opportunities to connect with new audiences

A Powerful Lineup of Speakers

I’m also excited to be taking the virtual stage during Top Talent Book Week alongside an incredible lineup of entrepreneurs, media personalities and thought leaders, including:

Omar Periu
Mike Driggers
Vince Baker
Eric Zuley

It is an honour to be part of a week that brings authorship, business, visibility, media and thought leadership into the same conversation.

For authors especially, opportunities like this demonstrate just how far a book can travel when the person behind it begins stepping into interviews, collaborations, panels, media and speaking platforms.

Opportunities for Publishers

Publishers are invited to take an active role throughout Top Talent Book Week.

Opportunities may include:

• Showcasing your publishing company
• Featuring your authors
• Moderating panel discussions
• Participating in award nominations
• Connecting with authors, readers and other industry professionals

This is an opportunity to highlight not only the books you represent, but also the voices and thought leadership behind them.

Opportunities for Authors

For authors, Top Talent Book Week creates another avenue to take your message beyond the page.

Authors may have opportunities to:

• Be interviewed
• Discuss their books
• Participate in panels and conversations
• Connect with new audiences
• Increase their visibility
• Build meaningful industry relationships

Because writing the book is only one part of the journey.

Your book may be your credibility piece, but visibility is what helps new audiences discover the message behind it.

Growing Reach and Support

Top Talent Book Week is also welcoming new sponsors and advertisers, including American Express Small Business and Capital One Small Business, helping expand the reach of this year’s event.

The growing support surrounding the week reflects the value of creating spaces where authors, publishers, readers and industry leaders can come together, exchange ideas and celebrate the power of books.

Ready to Be Part of It?

Whether you are an author looking for greater visibility, a publisher wanting to showcase your company and authors, an industry professional looking to connect, or simply someone who loves discovering meaningful books and the people behind them, Top Talent Book Week offers six days of conversation, connection and opportunity.
