General Information
Authors Night is a lavish fundraiser to benefit the East Hampton Library. All proceeds go directly to the Library. Beginning in 2005 with a handful of dinners and a few hundred attendees, it has grown to be the premier literary event of the Hamptons with over 160 authors and more than 1,000 people in attendance.
The evening begins under the tent at the Library. Guests enjoy fabulous hors d'oeuvres and wine while they meet the authors, buy their books and have them inscribed. The most recent titles for each author are available for purchase at the event. Guests can also bring their own books to have them inscribed.
From there, the evening continues as some of the authors discuss their most recent book at dinner parties held in private homes throughout the Hamptons. Guests purchase tickets to attend each dinner with the proceeds going to the library as a donation. The number of parties each year is not restricted, however the number of guests at each party is limited by the number of people a host can comfortably accommodate. Past years have seen up to 30 parties with more than 600 dinner guests.
Tickets range in price from $100 for the cocktail hour only to up to $2500 for the more popular dinner parties. Ticket sales usually open near the end of May.
