Join Us As We Celebrate Our 25th Anniversary!
This year's theme is Hollywood Nights and we're excited to welcome:
​
​
​As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we're pleased to continue the tradition of hosting a free festival for our community.
​
Our celebrity authors will participate in engaging conversation, tell us about their writing life, and what it's like to see their books made into movies or a television series. They'll give you a glimpse into the process of having their book optioned and all that entails. Guests will have a chance to purchase their books and have them signed by the author(s).
​
During the Festival, visitors will have the opportunity to meet more than 100 exhibiting authors from across the country. Many of these authors are self-published and come to Amelia Island to introduce you to their work. We'll be announcing exhibiting authors shortly.
If you're a writer, we'll have engaging and hands-on writing workshops. Stay tuned for more information.
​​​​
Back by popular demand is the Kids Zone a fun filled area to keep the young ones engaged.
Ultimately, you’ll find unlimited opportunities to enrich your life with books in a fun loving, festive atmosphere. ​
