Community Event outside Novel Idea

Hosting local authors and engaging with the Kingston community is at the heart of what we do.

Kingston WritersFest

Novel Idea regularly partners with Kingston WritersFest to sell books at this important community organization's events—not only the annual fall festival, but also WritersFest presentations throughout the year.

We sell advance tickets to many of these events in-store.

CFRC 101.9FM: "Finding a Voice"

Novel Idea is a supporter of Bruce Kauffman's radio show "Finding a Voice"—a showcase of spoken-word events from the Kingston area, including audio recordings of events held at our store.

Bruce's program is broadcast weekly, Fridays 4pm-6pm EST on Kingston's campus and community radio station CFRC 101.9FM.

Local Authors

We are committed to stocking books by Kingston-area authors. If you are a local author looking to have your book on our shelves, please drop by the store to discuss consignment opportunities.
