City Wide Book Fair is not limited to Indiana, because the need for literacy is important for every city!
Just six minutes of reading reduces muscle tension and a slows heart rate.
Nearly 85% of the juveniles who face trial are functionally illiterate.
Books open up a world of possibilities! The City Wide Book Fair provides a space for authors to share their stories while bringing literary fun to the community. We are pleased to connect our attendees with organizations, businesses and community heroes to make this year’s City Wide Book Fair an afternoon of fun.
Literacy is not a game. Reading is not only important to reducing poverty, increasing creativity and health, literacy makes the community better. The City Wide Book Fair mission is to encourage authors and potential authors to put pen to paper and motivate them to publish their books with opportunities to help grow author’s fan bases. By helping authors bring their books to the community, we are impacting the health, safety and economies we serve.
Partner with City Wide Book Fair as we bring books to the community.
We thank you in advance for your earnest consideration to serve as a sponsor and partner for the 4th Annual City Wide Book Fair.

The History of
City Wide Book Fair
It all started when I was at a Pop Up Shop some years ago and saw an author who was a vendor set up between two other vendors selling clothes and food and the author looked completely out of place. It seemed the author was in the way of the other vendors. Even though the place was packed and people were everywhere, not a lot of people stopped at the author table and the author looked lonely just sitting at their table with their books.
Over the last 3 Years

45
Authors
Immediately my spirit said “Authors need their own pop up shop.” That’s how “The City Wide Book Fair” was started.
We are so excited this is year four and we are still making a place where Authors can be seen in the right space amongst other authors. Authors come together to support the community and the community can support the Authors. This year City Wide Book Fair is bigger and will serve our community even greater.
