Hello! I am a new author (to be published in Nov. 2017) and just found your website and info about the book festival.
I love the poster, but I noticed you don’t have the location–i.e., city/state–listed.
Where is this event? I might consider coming. Thank you!
Yes, the 2017 Library of Congress National Book Festival will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Sept. 2. from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 8:30 a.m. Hope you can make it!
