Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re all having a great day and a wonderful Pride 2025. Today I wanted to share a couple of photos and an update from an exciting event I attended last week (well two weeks ago now). This year I was invited to be part of the Sacramento Book Festival (learn more here) this is the first book festival that Sacramento has held in eleven years and what an event it was. The festival had over 140 authors from all over Northern California and an estimated attendance in the range of 3k–4k people, but there could have been more.
The book festival was wonderful and I loved being around so many terrific authors (publishers, bookstores, and writing groups). There were some terrific panels (that I unfortunately didn’t get to see), a kids’ zone, a scavenger hunt with amazing prizes, and so much more. It really was a beautiful day and everyone who came to the event was there to support their local authors.
After the event, a few of us went to dinner and hung out for a while. The day was truly delightful.
The event organizers are already working on next year’s book festival, which will be in a larger location with more parking from my understanding. This will also allow for more authors and vendors. If you want to learn more about the Sacramento Book Festival so you plan for next year (click here). Until next time, have a great week and a wonderful Pride.
