Call for Authors : Booksville Festival

Business Name : Booksville Festival

Project Description : The inaugural Booksville Festival celebrates all the ways literature touches our lives. From author readings, book sales, games, and activities based on beloved books, to character and spelling bee contests - there is something for everyone.

The Booksville Festival is seeking authors for several activities during the event! Visit www.booksville.org or click each opportunity for more information!

Featured Authors
Featured authors will be given a 15-minute window for reading and/or audience questions. Authors can decide to also set up a vendor space at the festival at no cost. Vendor spaces are FREE for artists!
Poetry Contest : Deadline September 15
Are you a poet but no one knows it? Submit your poem to the Booksville Festival poetry contest! All eligible entries will be included in a poetry anthology that will be released at the Booksville Festival. Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place in both Youth (age 11-17) and Adult categories.
Brooksville Folktales : Deadline September 15
Contestants will be featured in a short story anthology about Brooksville folklore. The subject for all submissions should be fictional Brooksville tales. Maybe it is a made-up version of the town. Perhaps an urban legend.
Kids Book Art Contest
Kids, we're looking for you to draw a picture based on your favorite book. All submissions will be incorporated into promotional materials for the Booksville Festival!
