The Williamsburg Book Festival has been one of my favorite events for many years-it’s the place real book-people go to mingle, learn, and read from the best Williamsburg has to offer for booklovers.

Perhaps what makes this festival one of the greatest is that the community comes out to support the authors and festival with warmth and energy that brings me back year after year.
