We’re sorry to announce that the Granfalloon keynote reading with Meg Cabot is being postponed due to unforeseeable circumstances. Meg will unfortunately not be a part of this year’s Granfalloon, but we hope to have her join us at another time. Those who purchased tickets for her event will be contacted directly by the Buskirk-Chumley Theater with refund instructions.

The IU Arts and Humanities Council is thrilled to be hosting Meg Cabot as part of the 2023 Granfalloon Festival. Meg Cabot was born in Bloomington, Indiana during the Chinese astrological year of the Fire Horse, a notoriously unlucky sign, but learned at an early age that a good storyteller can always give herself a happy ending. Her 80+ books for both adults and tweens/teens have included multiple #1 New York Times bestsellers, selling over twenty-five million copies worldwide. Her Princess Diaries series has been published in more than 38 countries and was made into two hit films by Disney. Meg’s numerous other award-winning books include the Mediator series, the Heather Wells mystery series, and Avalon High, the later of which was made into a film for Disney Channel. Meg Cabot (her last name rhymes with habit, as in “her books can be habit forming”) currently lives in Key West with her husband and various cats.

The reading will be followed by a book signing with books available for purchase.
