The inaugural Cape Cod Book Festival will be held November 1-3 at the Cotuit Center for the Arts in Cotuit, Mass.
Founder and author Lois Cahall is also the founder and director of the Palm Beach [Fla.] Book Festival, which is now in its 10th year. Cahall said, 'The Cape Cod Book Festival promises to be a new cultural footprint in Massachusetts for locals and 'washashore' alike--a magical place where charitable minded readers can rub elbows with great writers and thinkers."
Also on the board of directors is author and Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, while the board of advisers includes Edith Vonnegut, John Buffalo Mailer, Sebastian Junger, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Imani Perry, Leigh Haber, and Kwame Alexander.
The festival will "explore books that take us on a magical journey--history, mystery, thriller, romance fiction, and nonfiction--written by New York Times bestselling and celebrity authors who tell their stories in dynamic, irresistible voices." Specific authors will be announced Labor Day.
