Become a Friend of the Festival

Become a literary champion and fuel creative minds

Amor Towles with friends of the festival at a VIP Reception in 2023. 

Dear Friends,

Over the years, Fall for the Book has brought thousands of writers to our region and presented hundreds of programs, all while remaining free and open to the public. And the writers who come to Fall for the Book have in turn brought their stories to us, offering their histories, imaginations, and perspectives from so many different backgrounds and genres of literature. We believe those stories have the power to bring us together, to foster connections across our community, and that experiencing literature together encourages cultural growth, expands our sense of empathy, and grows our knowledge of one another and the world around us.

We hope to be a part of your reading lives for many years to come. Please consider joining us as a Friend of Fall for the Book, and become part of the community of readers that has made this festival possible over the last twenty-five years.

From everyone here at Fall for the Book, thank you.

Kara Oakleaf
Director
