Looking to book your event? Great! Great! Please submit your event proposal here.

All readings and books launches are free and open to the public. Once a proposal is approved, to reserve a date, we ask for a $50 deposit to hold the date for you and guarantee a minimum of $50 in sales. Once sales during your event—books, coffee, wine, beer, food, or anything else—exceed $50, you get that deposit back. So invite your crowd, and we'll bring ours, and everybody wins!

BOLD Coffee & Books is a safe space. We do not condone or tolerate hate speech of any kind. If questionable content is presented within the event, we reserve the right to stop the event.
