Bookworms in South Charleston will be going to the 2025 West Virginia Book Festival coming in late October.
Book-related organizations, authors and other individuals will be presenting writing workshops, programs, and activities connected with the writing process, publishing and distribution of Books.
The festival has invited authors including Rajia Hassib, Jeff Shaara, Jayne Anne Phillips and Neal Shusterman. A McCreight Lecture in Humanities will be given by Mr. Viet Thanh Nguyen, a distinguished novelist who has won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. His new book titled To Save and to Destroy: Writing as an Other is being published by Harvard University Press and will be released sometime this year.
The marketplace will include publishers, booksellers, individual authors, and literary vendors selling Books and related items. Over 35 authors will be on site selling and signing their latest works. Libraries such as Kanawha County Public Library, Marshall University Libraries, and West Virginia Mine Wars Museum will have representatives on site, as will 10 literacy organizations including Read Aloud West Virginia, WV Humanities Council, and WV Public Broadcasting.
Attendees at festivals like this often collect Business Cards especially from publishers in order to get in touch with them at a later date.
This year's West Virginia Book Festival will take place Saturday, October 25 at the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center, 200 Civic Center Drive, Charleston. Admission will be free.
