Please join us for the 2025 Rocktown Author Festival at Massanutten Regional Library, an annual event that celebrates local authors and offers support to attendees who wish to become published authors!
Our 5th annual Rocktown Author Festival will be held Saturday, April 12th from 10 AM to 3 PM at Central Library in downtown Harrisonburg. The Festival includes a free, open forum for the public to meet and greet 36 local authors, purchase their works, and have books signed by the authors! This year, we will also be unveiling our new mural (weather permitting) during the lunch break. If you want to begin your own writing and publishing journey and need inspiration or advice, then you can register for three free expert-led panels. Keep reading for the panel schedule:
Panel 1: Picture This! The Collaborative Process of Publishing Children's Picture Books
10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
Panel 2: Two Sides of the Story: Insights Into Traditional and Self-Publishing
12:30 PM - 1:15 PM
Panel 3: Stories That Reflect Us All: Writing Diverse Characters and Narratives
