The Sant Jordi 2026 celebration in Barcelona is approaching, bringing with it one of the most anticipated moments for reading enthusiasts: author signings. Hundreds of writers will participate in this cultural event.

On April 23rd, author signings will once again be one of the most distinctive elements of the Sant Jordi festival in Barcelona, alongside the traditional book and rose stalls. This event attracts thousands of readers seeking the opportunity to meet their favorite authors and receive a personalized dedication.
Signing stalls will be distributed throughout the city center, with a prominent presence in the well-known literary super-block. Although most publishers have not yet released their complete lists of authors, some have already announced the names of writers who will join the celebration.
To facilitate the search, an online search engine has been enabled, allowing readers to locate signing points by author name or by location (street or bookstore). This tool will be essential for organizing visits to the various stalls and ensuring readers find their desired writers.

The list of authors signing books for Sant Jordi 2026 will be updated in the coming days. Publishers and bookstores warn that, once the final list is published, there may be last-minute variations in specific cases.

The list of participating writers is expected to grow significantly as the date approaches, offering a wide variety of genres and styles for all literary tastes.
