Aug 1-3, 2025

The authors were happy. We hope you enjoyed it, too.

“Best literary festival ever—and I’ve been to quite a few.”

“I’ve been to numerous book festivals but can’t think of any that were more stimulating and interactive.”

“The people who attended were a special group: knowledgeable, engaging, curious.”

“The panels’ leaders/moderators were superb and ensured every member had opportunity to look smart and be interesting.”

“I wish I could turn around another book in time for next year. 😊”

“I thought the set up and the people who came were truly great. Such lovely people. I was most honored to be part of it.”
