The Monaco International Book Fair turns the Grimaldi Forum into a city of words where novelists, essayists, scientists, historians and readers meet over two days devoted to books and ideas.
Literature open to the world
The fair brings together voices from several countries and creates conversations between fiction, essays, science, memory and current affairs. Signings, conferences, debates and literary cafés allow visitors to engage directly with authors.
Reading and transmission
Young readers, school writing, literary awards and accessible mediation formats hold an important place. The event strengthens the presence of reading within Monaco’s cultural life and connects books with broader social questions.
2026 edition
The 15th edition takes place on 5 and 6 September 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum. Around 170 authors are announced, alongside new awards including a Sports Book Prize and meetings with leading figures from literature, thought and science.
