Our Partners
The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum
Just about mile from our store, The Carter Library and Carter Center have for many years been the venues where we have presented the most important topical, historical and literary authors to Atlanta audiences, including Pat Conroy, Salman Rushdie, Harry Belaftonte, Al Franken, Sarah Vowell, Tom Brokaw, Candice Millard, Jon Meacham and Krista Tippett
SCADshow
SCADshow is a beautifully renovated theatre in Midtown Atlanta, home to many SCAD Atlanta events as well as cultural and literary events around town. While our partnership with SCADshow began as recently as 2015, together we've already brought many distinguished authors to Atlanta to full houses, including Stephen Pinker, Dave Barry, Erik Larson, Chuck Palahniuk, Nick Offerman, Jenny Lawson, Faith Salie, and more.
Manuel's Tavern
This Atlanta institution is a famous hotspot for writers and political debate, making it a natural for A Cappella book signings. Howard Dean, the late, great Paul Hemphill, and Ben "Cooter" Jones are just a few of the notables whose books we've presented there.
Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA)
In 2012, A Cappella became the official bookseller of the Book Festival of the MJCCA in Dunwoody, a fifteen-day literary and arts extravaganza, now in its 24th year. Each November, the Book Festival of the MJCCA hosts a who’s who list of bestselling and award-winning authors, speakers, and celebrities. Past guests have included Pat Conroy, Michael Chabon, Annie Leibovitz, Larry King, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat, Rabbi Harold Kushner, Emily Giffin, James Patterson, and R.L. Stine – just to name a few! The Book Festival of the MJCCA also hosts notable author events throughout the year.
The Georgia Center for the Book
A Cappella has enjoyed a decade-long relationship with this organization, housed in the Decatur Library, and dedicated to promoting books. Together we have hosted numerous author readings and signings, including Khaled Hosseini (twice), James McBride, Gwen Ifill, David Maraniss, Jan Karon, and many wonderful others.
Poetry at Tech
A Cappella is proud to be the long-time official bookseller for Poetry at Tech, which brings the finest names in poetry to Atlanta from within Georgia and all over the United States.
Variety Playhouse
A Cappella's collaboration with the Variety Playhouse--a converted movie theatre-turned concert venue and nightclub--is a great opportunity for us to bring celebrity authors to big Atlanta audiences. Located in Little Five Points, the Variety Playhouse is a short walk from A Cappella and together we've featured Al Franken--our first huge event--Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Alton Brown, Amanda Palmer and many others.
SCAD - Ivy Hall
SCAD's Ivy Hall Writers Series hosts a series of lectures and book signings with A Cappella Books both at the gorgeous mansion that houses the school's writing program, Ivy Hall, and at their main campus on Peachtree. If you haven't attended one of these programs, you've missed Bret Easton Ellis, William Gibson, Alexandra Styron, Andy Cohen and many others.
