Annual Bookmarks Festival

19th Annual Bookmarks Festival

Festival Brunch and Friends and Fiction

This year’s festival will close with a special Friends & Fiction Brunch celebrating the power of books, friendship, and community.

Friends and Fiction is a community of more than 240,000 readers, hosted by New York Times bestselling authors Mary Kay Andrews, Kristin Harmel, Kristy Woodson Harvey, and Patti Callahan Henry. Each Wednesday, Mary Kay, Kristin, Kristy and Patti welcome fellow authors to their popular weekly web show, where they discuss the story behind some of the world’s most popular books.

General admission tickets include brunch, admission to the book talk, and a post-event signing. Attendees are encouraged to purchase a ticket add-on that allows them to bring a tote bag of books from home for the authors to sign. The bag may not contain more than 8 books.
