Testimonials
Here’s what people had to say about past festivals!
“I look forward to the (Reading) Festival every
March. My daughter never liked to read until she went
with me a couple years ago. We love meeting all the
authors.”
My favorite feature
of the festival was:
“…hearing authors tell
about their lives and how
they came to write.”
“…having the availability to talk with (authors) one on
one
and to get autographs.”
“…listening to the
fun presentation outside with my children.”
“I like learning about various authors. It’s always
nice to pick up a book that you might not have grabbed
otherwise.”
“I've been to many book festivals before, and this was one of the best organized and thought-out I've ever attended.”
– Tess Gerristen, 2009
"It's relaxing and has such a
super atmosphere...so many things to see & people to
talk to, this was first class!
Time also to browse and
see books that you don't
have time for normally."
-Anonymous, 2008
“I thought it was a great, wonderfully organized event, and I had a terrific time. I would not hesitate to recommend attending to any of my colleagues. Thanks again for inviting me.”
– David Liss, 2009
“… I have done a large number of festivals over the years, so I think I speak from good experience. Yours was very well run, very well organized, and most importantly, very well attended. Good job! Thank you for inviting me.”

something good for reading and for the community. I was

children. You know how important it is to get them
interested in reading."

year."

and choose my outings carefully. I'm so happy to have
made it to Fort Myers. Your Festival was a fabulous
event, and countless other authors told me the same this
weekend."

reading is."
