West Tennessee Celebration of Books Author Application
Thank you for your interest in participating in the inaugural West Tennessee Celebration of Books at Discovery Park of America on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2027. We are excited to create a literary event that celebrates reading, writing, storytelling and publishing while connecting authors with readers from across West Tennessee and the Midsouth. Because space is limited and we are working to create a balanced and engaging experience for visitors, submission of an application does not guarantee selection as a participating author. Applications will be reviewed based on factors including genre diversity, audience appeal, regional connections and programming needs. We are grateful for your interest in being part of this new festival and appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your work with us. | Application deadline: October 9, 2026 | Notification date: November 10, 2026
