For Buyers
The HNA book fair is one of our conference highlights, and we hope you’ll take advantage of seeing and purchasing as many books as possible in support of your fellow authors or publishers. Our book fair will be open during the following hours:
The book fair will be closed during select conference events, including the Higginson lecture (Thursday, 11:00–12:00), the Memorial reading (Friday, 11:00–12:00), and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. We will offer sales only by credit or debit card through Square. Authors and presses are responsible for any electronic fees for books paid for by credit card. Please consider donating to HNA to help with our book fair expenses (sellers are not charged fees to sell books).

For Sellers
Whether you have one book to sell, or many, we invite you to bring your books for the HNA book fair—and we will take care of all sales using the Square sales app. As a service to the haiku community, HNA does not charge for tables used by book fair exhibitors or take a percentage of sales. However, if you wish to donate to HNA to help with our book fair expenses, please know that we very much appreciate your support! IMPORTANT: For us to have your books listed in the Square app in time for the conference, you must itemize books you plan to sell using our Book Fair form (see link below). You must submit this form by September 14, 2025. We need the author or press name, a physical address, and a full list of books for sale by title, author/editor, and price. We do not need to know the quantity of books you will bring. Book Fair Details and Conditions Booksellers will be able to access the Redwood room to set up books on Wednesday from 2:30 to 4:15 p.m., and whenever the book fair room is open after that. Please arrange your books efficiently on tables we provide. The room is not set up for hanging posters on the walls. Small table-top posters are allowed, depending on space available after all books are set up for display/sale. Please make sure to clearly mark book prices, either in or on each book or on a price list that you put out with your books, and that these prices agree with what you list in our Book Fair form (we will sell books based on prices entered into the form). The book fair room will be locked except during setup/takedown and the open sales periods. HNA will not be held liable for any damage, theft, or other losses. Authors and presses agree to remove all books from the book fair between 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Sunday, September 28. The book fair room will be closed at noon on Sunday, and all remaining items will be donated. Shipping Books Vendors are responsible for bringing or shipping their books to and from San Francisco, which includes all customs paperwork, if applicable.
