FOR BOOK LOVERS: This is a day to meet and greet local authors, hear them read their recent work, support them in their artistic endeavors, and attend a series of programs on the writers craft. There will be book making and paper making crafts for kids of all ages. The event is free and books will be available for purchase!
FOR YOUTH: Hear about the life of real writers from actual authors! Collect autographs and add to your growing stack of books to read. Explore writing ideas and walk away inspired to pursue your dreams!
FOR TEACHERS: Meet some of your favorite local authors and make a few new friends. Book author visits to your school. Pick up some fun ideas to inspire your students to want to read and write more fluently.
FOR AUTHORS: Early registration insures that you get a seat at the table; tables provided, though you might want to bring your own table cloth and table top display. You can sell your books, book some speaking engagements, and a dozen authors will be given a chance to present a short workshop (20-25 minutes).
There is no fee, but we will ask for donations for the evening concert.
A portion of proceeds from the day will go to fund the mission of Crossroads Cultural Connections, the nonprofit organization behind Bishop Hill Creative Commons.
