THE VERO BEACH BOOK FESTIVAL WILL TAKE A HIATUS AND INSTEAD OF NOVEMBER 2008 IS LOOKING TO FALL OF 2009 OR SPRING 2010

    The Laura (Riding) Jackson Foundation wants to thank all of its sponsors, partners, volunteers, authors and attendees for 3 years of working together to celebrate books and reading. During its 3 years, the Vero Beach Book Festival has brought a Nobel Prize winner, several Pulitzer winners, over 125 literary notables including award winning writers, publishers, agents, and book critics, and C-Span Book TV to our community attracting over 20,000 attendees.

    The Vero Beach Book Festival’s mission is to bring an awareness of important issues to our community through the written word and promote literary programs that nurture a passion for the written word. Every year the Festival develops its thought-provoking and entertaining programs and invites dozens of authors and other literary guests to our community to meet these goals.

    However, as we look to the future, circumstances dictate that we step back and through restructuring this wonderful event ensure its continuation and ability to meet the challenges and objectives of the future. Our plan, as it stands now, is to bring back the Vero Beach Book Festival in the Fall of 2009 or Spring of 2010. Check back periodically on the website for updated information, or if you wish to communicate with us, please email us at info@verobeachbookfest.com. We invite your comments.
