About the Summer Book Festival

The Northeast Art & Authoring Festival is a celebration of the visual & literary arts in north eastern Massachusetts. It's a great opportunity for aspiring authors to get published, self-publish authors to share their work, and for the community learn about the craft of writing.

The festival hosts a variety of events that include readings and panel discussions, book signings, open mics, workshops, poetry slams, children’s books readings, live short story competitions and more. Attendees will have the chance to connect with celebrated authors and publishers while they enjoy the unique atmosphere.  

Artists, illustrators and photographers interested in their work:
being in a book; used for book covers; or used to inspire literature are also invited to take part in the event. 

Writers and 2 dimensional artists can have an outdoor booth to sell original art and books.

Publishers, voice actors, podcasters and others in the literature community with information to share about getting your literature into the world are invited to host a speaking engagement.

Writers, teachers, poets and illustrators are invited to host workshops to share your craft with other in the community.
