Christine DeSmet, UW-Madison, has the following information about the Southwest Wisconsin Book Festival:
May 17 is the deadline for submission for authors to participate in the Sept. 14 Southwest Wisconsin Book Festival in Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
This is their third year and they seem to be growing, and Mineral Point is a gorgeous area to visit. Kristin Mitchell, local publisher there, had a wonderful array of quality books at the publisher/author book fair at the recent Writers’ Institute conference in Madison. She runs the festival.
I’m on a panel for “Wisconsin books,” and that panel needs more authors who have written books set in Wisconsin.
This will be my first time at this festival, so maybe others can weigh in if they know more about it.
