New York Times bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt will begin the festivities at the Vicksburg Performing Arts Center at 7 P.M. that Friday as a keynote speaker, sharing more about her book Remarkably Bright Creatures.
Saturday's festivities will run from 11 A.M. to 5 P.M. and feature a tournament of writers celebration, various workshops in bookbinding, illustration, and poetry, as well as printing press demonstration. Saturday will also feature the Book Trail, where 30 regional authors will be present for meet-and-greets with attendees.
Many of the festival's programs are free to attend, although some events and workshops are ticketed events. More information on the festival, including ticket purchasing, can be found on Eventbrite. The event can also be followed on Facebook.
