It’s our 10th anniversary and we’ve invited back a few of the authors we’ve featured at past festivals! They will each speak and then they will be on a panel where you can ask questions live. Come help us celebrate ten years of connecting readers and authors in Christian fellowship!
This year’s festival will be on Saturday Nov. 7, 2026 from 9am-4:30pm Eastern US Time on Zoom.
Attendees may now sign up. It’s free to attend.
