New Jersey authors will sign books and talk to visitors at the New Providence Book Festival on Saturday, September 22, 2018.
The festival, located on the grounds of the historic Salt Box Museum, will include a series of talks by authors including Reyna Favis, Amy M. Reade, Michael Stephen Daigle and Vivian Fransen, and panels on a range of book-related topics. In addition, children’s authors Ginger Pate and Laura Kaighn will read stories from their respective books.
“We wanted to create an event that connects authors with readers in a very personal way,” explained J.R. Bale, one of the organizers of the event. “With over a dozen authors of various genres, it should be a stimulating event for even the most casual book lover. Last year’s festival was very well received. And this year, we hope to top ourselves.”
Anyone purchasing a book at the festival will also receive a free raffle ticket for a
drawing for a $50 gift certificate for Moe’s Bistro. Other vital festival sponsors include the Lantern Hill retirement community, Murray Hill Hotel & Suites, and Page Bound Success, an organization which supports the marketing efforts of local writers.
The festival will be held on the grounds of the Salt Box Museum at 1350 Springfield Avenue from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The rain date is September 29, 2018.
The Salt Box Museum, the site of the festival, operated by the New Providence Historical Society, will be open for tours free of charge. Refreshments will be available on the grounds.
