Proposals

The Wisconsin Book Festival focuses primarily on hosting events for recent publications. We host events in all genres.

Proposals for the four-day celebration on October 17-20, 2024 will open April 1, 2024. If you are interested in proposing a standalone Wisconsin Book Festival event outside that window, you may email your proposal at any time to bookfest@mplfoundation.org.  

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 availability for virtual or in-person events
  • a confirmation that you have the equipment necessary to present remotely via videoconference

We appreciate your support and look forward to our 23rd annual Fall Celebration in 2024.
