Each summer and fall, downtown Brighton’s Hyne Alley transforms into a vibrant outdoor marketplace for book lovers and writers alike. Hosted by 2 Dandelions Bookshop, Author’s Alley celebrates Michigan’s rich literary talent by bringing together local and self‑published authors to share their stories, sign books, and connect directly with readers.

Set against the lively backdrop of Brighton’s Saturday Farmers’ Market, this free, family‑friendly event invites visitors to browse a diverse selection of genres—from fiction and poetry to memoir, children’s books, and beyond. Authors set up along the charming brick walkway between Oh My Lolli and Brighton Bar & Grill, turning the alley into an open‑air bookstore where conversations and creativity flow.

For participating authors, Author’s Alley offers a unique opportunity to showcase work, meet fans, and be part of a thriving literary community. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite book or getting a signed copy from a Michigan author, Author’s Alley is all about celebrating stories and the people who tell them.
