In all Festival venues but the Free Speech Tent, each author will present on the hour for 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer session in the venue itself, then a book-signing session in the Ex Libris Book Sales tent on West President Street, between the Telfair Academy and Trinity Church.  Out of courtesy to our authors, please remember to turn off all cell phones, pagers and PDAs before entering the Festival venues.
