Long Island LitFest returns to the Vanderbilt Mansion Courtyard for its 2026 season with a Q&A with Emily Giffin — the bestselling author of twelve internationally beloved novels including Something Borrowed, Baby Proof, Where We Belong, and All We Ever Wanted - and her new book Love You More. Her books have sold millions of copies worldwide and been adapted for film and television.

The evening includes an author talk, audience Q&A, a signed book, and a photo opportunity with Emily. Set against the stunning Spanish Revival architecture of Eagle's Nest, LitFest is one of Long Island's most distinctive literary events — the kind of summer evening that's as much about the setting as the conversation.
