Panel Session Admission and Seating

All seating is first-come, first-serve. Media are encouraged to arrive early as seats are limited.

Media Room

A media room will be available for pre-arranged interviews in a quiet space and for other assignment-related purposes. However, no phone/fax/internet services will be provided. If you will require use of the media room, advise festival publicity contact in advance so your request can be considered.

Media Parking/Remote Broadcasts/Satellite Trucks

Please contact Brooklyn Book Festival staff for information on live broadcasts/satellite vehicles. Space is extremely limited and parking rules around Brooklyn Borough Hall are strictly enforced. Media are responsible for their own parking. Use of mass transit is strongly encouraged.
