Mark your calendar! The ninth annual West Virginia Book Festival will be held October 10 & 11, 2009, at the Charleston Civic Center. Each year the festival offers something for book lovers of all ages and interests: authors, publishers, book vendors, the Festival Marketplace, a special section just for children, a used book sale, meet the author events, workshops and panel discussions.

Admission is free. Don't miss the chance to meet visiting authors! Book Festival organizers will begin to announce authors and programming by late spring.

Note to authors and program presenters: Most of our programs and presentations are scheduled by invitation, although we welcome ideas year-round. It is not always possible for us to respond to all of the many inquiries that we receive. The schedule for each Festival is finalized by May 31. Any ideas that are presented to us after the schedule has been finalized will be considered for the next Festival.

Be added to our mailing list! If you would like to receive our brochure, please e-mail us your name and complete mailing address.
Please type "Book Festival brochure request" in the subject line of your e-mail. Brochures will be mailed out in August.
