2026 Autumn Book Fair
The National Independent Publishing Event
Welcome to the Oxford Indie Book Fair (OXIB) — a vibrant celebration of independent publishing, bold storytelling, and creative community. OXIB brings together independent presses, authors, poets, illustrators, and readers for a day dedicated to discovering books you won’t find everywhere else. More than just a marketplace, OXIB is a meeting place — a space for conversation, collaboration, and inspiration. Visitors meet authors face-to-face, hear the stories behind the stories, attend talks and readings, and connect with a thriving community that champions creativity and originality all for free.
Join us on Sunday November 22nd at the Oxford Examination Schools.
