Savannah Book Festival enters the world of “virtual” to deliver world class offerings.
In the midst of these very challenging times, the SBF Board of Directors and management have examined a variety of options for the 2021 Festival. SBF’s discussions with publishers have shown a preponderance of authors unable to commit to in-person appearances at this time, even as far out as February 2021. Due to these hurdles, SBF has been forced into the difficult decision of cancelling the February 2021 “in-person” Festival.
SBF has turned its efforts to bringing many of the wonderful aspects of our annual event to you in new and different forms. SBF plans to present a series of virtual author programs later this year and continuing through 2021, live-streaming interactive appearances directly to our Festival audience. These online events will feature the same up close and personal author presentations and conversations that have made the SBF so unique among book festivals.
SBF will be hosting 1 – 2 authors, virtually, beginning in October 2020 and continuing through 2021. Current LITERATI members and 2021 sponsors will receive details about October event registration by October 9th.
