Book festivals bring us our favorite authors. They also allow us to pick up something new, maybe go outside our go-to genre. You have the opportunity to do both next week at the Bookmarks 2015 Festival of Books and Authors.
This year's festivities include appearances by authors such as Candace Bushnell, Pat Conroy, R.L. Stine, Ron Rash and many others (over 40 authors to be exact).

The Festival of Books and Authors kicks off with a keynote opening event with David Baldacci on Thursday, September 10th (for tickets, click here). Friday, it's a day of Eat and Greets with writers and chefs of the festival, and Saturday, September 12th there will be individual author sessions, panels, and more. You can also check out the artistic responses from North Carolina students to Bookmarks new summer reading program.

Bookmarks Executive Director Ginger Hendricks shares more about this year's events, beginning with a writer she's personally looking forward to seeing.
