YALLFest’s 2017 Keynote Authors to Include Actor Jason Segel

For two days in November, the Holy City will once again be taken over by thousands of young book lovers. This year’s YALLFest features a stacked lineup of rising stars and bestsellers participating in book signings, panels, and events.

The duo of Segel and Miller will speak about their bestselling series Nightmares! at a ticketed event on Saturday, November 11th. Tickets will go on sale in August.

Segel, who played Marshall Eriksen for nine season on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, spent a few days in Charleston this past February. You may also remember the actor for his role on NBC’s Freaks and Geeks or for his work in movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Muppets, and I Love You, Man.

Other YALLFest highlights include:

Keynote talks and featured events require tickets, which go on sale August 1st. Other panels and signings are free and generally require fans to stand in line. The full author roster will be announced in August when tickets go on sale.

YALLFest’s mission is to improve literacy through great YA literature and, via an outreach program with the Charleston County School District, puts visiting authors in local schools to connect directly with young readers and spread their love of words and books.
