Book-It Tuesday

Each week on “Book-It-Tuesday,” we reveal new Festival Saturday authors — right here on our website, on social media, and in our weekly newsletter. Book-It Tuesday announcements begin in October and end in November of 2026. They’re how you learn about the authors attending the Festival for Festival Saturday and the books they’re bringing. Sign up for the newsletter and follow us on social media to be the first to see the line up each year.
