Salem Literary Festival — Sept. 22, 2018

Updated 8/30/2018: The dates for the Salem Literary Festival have been extended to Sept. 21 and 22. The calendar has been updated to reflect this. For information, please click here for the festival’s website. 

The Salem Literary Festival for this year has been moved to Sept. 22, 2018, and the details are still being worked out. However, I wanted to put this up on the blog and calendar so you can know the date and have a spot to check back on! When the schedule is released, I’ll update this post with that info. 🙂

Per the Salem Lit Fest website:
“Now presented by the Salem Athenaeum, the Salem Literary Festival was founded by Beth Simpson in 2008 as an extension of the events she created for the now defunct Cornerstone Bookstore. Since then, the Salem Lit Fest has grown to include hundreds of attendees, scores of volunteers, and dozens of authors. In 2014, the festival joined forces with New York Times bestselling author Brunonia Barry and her organization, Readers and Writers, Inc. The LitFest was held at historic venues in and around Salem that unite authors and book lovers.

In 2016, the baton was passed by Bru to longtime LitFest partner, the Salem Athenaeum, which presented the 2017 festival in June.

The Salem Lit Fest aims to inspire and promote literacy and a love of books and reading through programming featuring both contemporary authors and engagement with classic works of literature.”

Enjoy!! <3
