We are looking to reinvent the
of the idea of a New England Book Festival

Are you interested in helping to design a 2023 Book Festival for New England Authors and Creators? 

Ipswich Book Festival

Festival Events

Join authors, poets and writers of all kinds as they come together with illustrators, 2D artists and voice actors to find common ground and collaboration. 
Literature of All Kinds

It is time to mix literature of all kinds with artists and creators that inspire.

Art Expanded

Inviting Artists photographers, and Illustrators to join the literary world to share ideas and skills

Voices Together

Voice Actors, Poets and Authors are invited to share the stage to  make connections.

A Community Event for Northeast Literary Enthusiasts and Art Makers

The goal of this event is to bring together writers and artists to collaborate during this weekend long event.  
From poets to painters, essayists to photographers, no matter your way of creating two-dimensional art and literature.

This is a time to sell your books and art; read your poems and tell your stories. 

Who should plan a workshop or speak at the event?

Authors, teachers, publishers, artists, illustrators and poets.... or maybe.... You are a photographer, painter, essayist or voice-actor? What ever you do to support the world of writing, books or collaborative arts you will probably fit right in!

Teach Others

You don't need to be a professional to share what you know.

Write and Share

With opportunities to write and share what you know, you can be an inspiration to others.

Collaborate

This is a chance to brainstorm with the art and literary community.  It is also a chance to meet the general public and share what you do.
