Half my life is an act of revision

We are excited to welcome some new authors to the festival!
I'm not going to die wondering.
                            ~ Colette
One of my great pleasures is watching the books that come out of the Eastern Sierra. So, it's a pleasure to announce that Diane Eagle Kataoka has a book on the brink. Eva Poole-Gilson is working on a new book. And we hear Steve Searles' book about bears is soon to be published.
What are you working on? Let us know!
New books for sale from local or attending authors.

Used books for sale all day - at low low prices. Seriously low. Like Barry White low.

Fiction, children's books, beautiful biographies, humor, non-fiction, and more.

CALLING VENDORS!

Tables for the day are $50.
Merchandise does not have to be book related.


Write to us to reserve your spot.

The book festival is looking for volunteers. We'd love to have you.

We are notoriously bad at sorting and publicizing the many photos and videos of previous festivals. HOWEVER, we did put together two nice videos from last year. The first one is about Jonathan Howland's book, Native Air:
