The Festival is downtown at the Kentucky International Convention Center
In June this year, I saw an ad for the Louisville Book Festival.
The Louisville Book Festival is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization founded in 2018 to celebrate and promote the love and the benefits of reading, writing, and literacy. We believe that literacy is a fundamental human right and that there is power and purpose in bringing books to life every day of the year. We celebrate books and use them to highlight and grow the resilient culture of our vibrant city, as well as to encourage and elevate our creative thinking as a community.
I thought it sounded neat, especially since I’ve not been to a book signing in years. Being an indie author, I had to submit two copies of my newest book for review. I suppose they were looking at the quality of the work and production.
Later that month, I received this email: We are so excited to write to inform you of your acceptance to the Louisville Book Festival for 2023. I was one of 150 authors accepted!
Hooray!
The book I entered was Santa’s Wish Fulfilled: A Dickens Holiday Romance. I’m only allowed to sell this book, but I’ll have some swag and candy for those folks who stop by my table.
Jan Scarbrough brings a unique and welcome twist to the romance genre in Santa’s Wish Fulfilled. Instead of dropping us off at the happily-ever-after (however satisfying that is for readers), she digs deeper, taking us behind the scenes to show what’s involved, at times, to make the romance work.
