The theme of 2026’s festival, Writing the Future, is more than a slogan. It’s a call to action—a challenge for all of us as stewards of this festival and as members of a community navigating extraordinary times. More information on the festival will be released in the coming months.
Speaker proposals open September 15th
Exhibitor applications open late 2025
We're also seeking volunteers, booksellers, and sponsors!
