First Second / Fierce Reads San Diego Comic-Con 2024 Signings

It’s no doubt that young adult fiction (YA) is one of the most popular genres this side of Panem, crossing over to adult readers as well. Nowhere is that more apparent than at San Diego Comic-Con where the publishers booths are packed to the gill with great content and fanatical readers.

One of the best booths for YA fiction is #2800 and #2802, the home to First Second Books / Fierce Reads and Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. Their roster is full of best-selling writers, many who will be signing at the booth.

Traditionally, all book signings are free. For many of the signings, books will be available for purchase, but a purchase is not required.

All signing times are subject to change.
