It’s a festival for all! The 2024 Literary Festival starts with a celebration of the winners of the Literary Contest at 28 Mugford Street on July 4 and continues on July 5-7 at Marblehead’s newly renovated Abbot Public Library with programs for readers across all genres, book lovers of all ages, aspiring writers and illustrators, and all those with a passion for literature and learning. Shuttle service will be available to and from the library.

 

The slate of presenters represents impressive talent and accomplishments. Across book talks and readings, workshops, conversations and interviews, demonstrations, and even a storytime and craft, you will meet successful authors and illustrators who are eager to share their published and personal stories. Each presenter will be introduced by Doug Grad, owner of Doug Grad Literary Agency, Inc. and a true author advocate. Doug "speaks the language" and will aptly set the stage for presenters and attendees alike.

 

A gathering of authors and readers could not be complete without books, and the 2024 Literary Festival is pleased to be partnering with Copper Dog Books, a North Shore bookseller and dedicated community partner. This invested team is graciously coordinating our Festival’s book sales and signing. Many thanks to Copper Dog Books for their behind-the-scenes and on-site assistance.

 

Come celebrate! Engage with this vibrant spectrum of voices and perspectives. Pull up a chair, make new connections, and be part of the Festival!
