The Wisconsin Book Festival focuses primarily on hosting events for recent publications. We host events in all genres.
The proposal period for the 2020 four-day celebration from October 15-18 will run from April 1st 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.
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
Proposals for the fall celebration are reviewed throughout the summer. Final decisions on accepted proposals were made in August. We appreciate your support and look forward to this year's four-day celebration.
