Perry Page Turners Book Festival

What a wonderful time we had at our 3rd annual book festival!

We welcomed 40 fabulous authors representing a wide range of genres. The Festival had it all — Inspiring messages, panel discussions, games, giveaways, and other bookish fun!

We want to give a big thank you to Gottwals Books who again provided an outstanding pop-up store.

What authors and attendees said about the festival:

The book festival was a full circle event for me. The best part had to be when a reader walked up with my newest book and wanted me to sign it. I loved taking pictures and chatting with all the readers and authors. As an author on the romance panel, I really enjoyed sharing why I write what I write and hearing from the other authors. The audience had fantastic questions and chatting with them really warmed my heart. I feel like a made a lot of new friends and loved getting to visit with old ones! — Leslie Kirby DeVooght, author of Taking A Second Shot

The Perry Book Festival is such a well-organized and professionally managed event, but at the same time, you feel like you’re spending time with old friends. From the helpful communication prior to the event to the warm welcomes and smiles that greet you from every volunteer, to the fun panels and giveaways, it’s just one of my favorite writer/reader fellowships! I can’t wait to come back!!! — Hope Welborn, author of Trail of Danger

It was just great, and so very, very well planned and executed, as before. I had the pleasure of seeing old friends, and meeting new ones. You have my highest praise! — William Rawlings, author of author of the John Wesley O’Toole mystery series.
