A book festival can be an ideal vehicle to promote reading and literacy in your community. Booksellers intimately involved in festivals around the country will explain how to get started with your own children’s or teen festival, including working in partnership with other local businesses and organizations, attracting authors and publicists, and garnering media attention.
