The Wisconsin Book Festival focuses primarily on hosting events for recent publications. We host events in all genres.
The proposal period for the 2021 fall celebration in October runs through June 30th. If you are interested in proposing a stand-alone Wisconsin Book Festival event outside that window, you can email your proposal to bookfest@mplfoundation.org at any time. Due to the uncertainty created by COVID-19, we are evaluating whether the fall celebration will be held virtually or in-person.
Full proposals should include:
- author's name
- book title
- ISBN
- publisher name
- publication date of the book for which you are proposing an event
- an outline of the proposed event, including potential dates
- any review/supporting materials that could aid in our decision-making
- a statement about avilability for virtual or in-person events
- a confirmation that you have the equipment necessary to present remotely via videoconference
Proposals for the fall celebration are reviewed throughout the summer. Final decisions on accepted proposals are made in August. We appreciate your support and look forward to this year's celebration.
