Authors – Eastern Sierra Book Festival

Welcome! The Eastern Sierra Book Festival is for everyone who loves books: readers, writers, publishers, but especially for authors, those special people who put such effort into their books, often for little reward or recognition. So, the festival is our chance to celebrate you!

Once again in 2025, we are excited to offer table space (and a chair!) to participating authors so you can meet your readers and sign books during the day. We finally invested in enough tables and chairs to offer this option, and we can’t wait to see you all there!

Sign up here to have your books sold, reserve table space, and participate in the Author Variety Show. We’ll introduce you to the audience, sell your books, and promote you and your books in the media. ALL FOR FREE!

[With regards to selling your books, you set the price, and 60% of the retail price goes back to you. The other 40% will benefit the Southern Mono Historical Society. Unsold copies are returned to you.]

Alternatively, you can purchase booth space for $50 for the entire day where you can sell your own books and keep all the proceeds. You will need to provide your own tables and chairs. A pop-up or sun shield is also highly recommended. Sign up below, and we’ll get in touch with details.
