About
TaleRow is a new multi-genre indie book festival, organised by two authors, Jonas Lane and Ellis Greaves. We’re bringing independent authors and bookish traders together with readers who love to discover something new. Every genre is welcome, from children’s and YA to romance, thrillers, fantasy and non-fiction.
Our first event

Market Harborough
Tables
£40 each
Market Harborough is a historic Leicestershire market town with a real love of books and storytelling. It is home to its own literary festival, which fills local venues with author talks and signings, a books, arts and crafts festival where local authors sell their work, and its own Waterstones. It’s a welcoming town for readers, writers and makers, and we can’t think of a better place to start TaleRow.
To make sure every visitor finds something to love, we’ll only be offering a limited number of tables in each genre. This keeps the day varied for readers and fair for everyone exhibiting, so please let us know which genre you write or trade in when you register your interest.
We hope to follow Market Harborough with more TaleRow events in other towns, including Christmas events.
Meet the organisers
We have both stood behind the author table at plenty of fairs, and now we’re building the event we always wanted to trade at.
Take part
Are you an author or a bookish trader who would like to exhibit? We’re gauging interest at this stage, so there’s no commitment, and we’ll be in touch with booking details soon.
Tables will be limited in each genre to keep the festival balanced, so tell us what you write or sell and we’ll build the mix from there.
Complete the interest formThe form opens on our publishing partner’s website, Trois Étoiles Press.
